Summary

Judge Edward Erskine Cleland. A newspaper cutting on the back of the photograph says: Mr Cleland, who was born at Beaumont, South Australia, 67 years ago is a son of the late Mr JF Cleland, a former Registrar General of Births, Deaths and Marriages. He was educated at Prince Alfred College, articled with Mr William Pope, and took his LL.B degree on April 25, 1890. On the following day he was called to the Bar, and soon afterwards was appointed Associate to the late Mr Justice Bundey. In 1891 he entered practice, and his career has been remarkably successful. By 1913 it was recorded that he had by far the greatest number of cases in the High Court of any counsel from this State. He was appointed a King's Counsel in December, 1912 and soon afterwards was honored by an appointment by the then Attorney-General (Mr Homburg) to go to London as one of the counsel in the dispute boundary case between South Australia and Victoria. Mr Cleland has had wide interests outside his profession among the positions he has held being those of vice-president of the Law Society, chairman of the South Australian Football League and chairman of the Kindergarten Union.
