Doctor of Philosophy, Barrister, Elliott Johnston Chambers, Adelaide
Steven graduated in Arts from Sydney University, Law from Tasmania, and with a PhD in Law from Adelaide University. He has been in legal practice since 1976, the bulk of that time as a barrister and part time legal teacher, at the WA, NSW and now SA Bars.
Steven’s particular interests lie in statutory interpretation and the relationship of individuals and the community to the State. His practice as a barrister is almost entirely in appellate and judicial review proceedings dealing with administrative and constitutional law issues, or concerning statutory interpretation. Steven has been presenting counsel in a number of High Court cases, including Bropho (1990); Webster v Lampard (1993); and McNamara (2005), all three involving statutory interpretive techniques to restrain the ambit of State immunities or advantages at law.
Steven taught Statutory Interpretation at University of Adelaide Law School, and continues to teach the subject in intensives at Law Schools around Australia and New Zealand
