Biographical information on Justice French:
"Initially, I wanted to become a great theoretical physicist. In third year however, the Dean said to me after a seminar presentation, 'You express yourself magnificently, but I am not sure you know what you are talking about'. So, I decided to become a lawyer.""Having said that, my science degree has provided me with an invaluable introduction into the methodology of scientific reasoning, which is of general application. There is much interaction between the law and science. An understanding of the essentials of scientific method and the natural sciences is fundamental to anyone who wants to engage effectively in the practice of the law."
