Content Summary:

There are 17 small books containing notes on legal subjects; they were compiled during the years 1875 to 1881, when Isaacs was a student. A large book and two smaller ones contain notes and cuttings from his period on the Bench of the High Court. A book listing his retainers for the years 1901 to 1906 is also included.

Immediate source of acquisition:

The papers of Sir Isaac Isaacs received by the National Library in three parts. The major portion was deposited by Lady Isaacs in 1950. In 1968, after the death of Isaacs' daughter Mrs Marjorie Cohen, a second group of papers was received from her son Thomas B. Cohen. A further collection, used by Sir Zelman Cowen for his biography Isaac Isaacs, was deposited in April 1970.
