}}Alice Erh-Soon Tay was an Australian academic lawyer, an eminent jurisprudence and comparative law scholar. She was president of the Australian Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission from 1998 to 2003.[1]

Early life and education

Tay was born in Singapore in 1934. She was admitted to the Singapore Bar in 1957[2] and practiced as a criminal lawyer.[3] In 1959 she moved to the new law department at the University of Malaya (now the National University of Singapore).[2][4]

She moved to Australia at the age of 27. She obtained her PhD from the Australian National University in 1965 and an LLD (honoris causa) from Edinburgh in 1989.[2]

Professional career

Tay had a long academic career at the University of Sydney, with 26 years as the Challis Professor of Jurisprudence from 1975. She was a part-time Commissioner of the Australian Law Reform Commission from 1982 to 1987.[5] During her time at the ALRC, she contributed to several major inquiries—including The Recognition of Aboriginal Customary Laws (ALRC 31, 1986); Privacy (ALRC 22, 1983); Contempt (ALRC 35, 1987) and Matrimonial Property (ALRC 39, 1987).[2]

Tay was made a Member of the Order of Australia in 1985 for her contributions to teaching and research in law.[6]

Personal life

Tay married political philosopher and Marxist scholar Eugene Kamenka after her arrival in Australia. He died in 1994 and she remarried Guenther Doeker-Mach in 2004 before her death in April 2004.[1]

Tributes

A street in the Canberra suburb of Watson is named after her. The gazetted notice of the ACT Government noted her role in "court interventions regarding the MV Tampa".[7]

The Annual Alice Tay Lecture in Law and Human Rights was established in 2005 by the Herbert and Valmae Freilich Foundation at the Australian National University. This lecture was established to acknowledge both Tay's championship of human rights in Australia and her contributions as a member of the Foundation's board over a number of years.[8]
