Timeline
Wootten was married three times. His third wife was Gillian Cowlishaw, a Professor of Anthropology at the University of Sydney. Her particular research interests involve Aboriginal Australians. He died on 27 July 2021 at the age of 98.
In 1990 Wootten was appointed Companion of the Order of Australia (AC) for "service to human rights, to conservation, to legal education and to the law". In 1994, Wootten was awarded an honorary LL.D. in recognition for his services to the law and the UNSW Faculty of Law.
Between 1984 and 1986, Wootten served as the chairman of the Australian Press Council. Following Rupert Murdoch's takeover of The Herald and Weekly Times and a decision from the 15-member council against calling on the Commonwealth Government for an independent tribunal to vet proposed media takeovers and in light of the council's failure to object to Murdoch's control of 70% of Australia's print media and the sense that both of these events were wrong and unjust, Wootten resigned in protest, alongside John Lawrence, a former federal president of the Australian Journalists Association.
In 1973, Wootten stepped down from this position to take up his appointment as a Judge of the Supreme Court of New South Wales.
Wootten was appointed a puisne judge of the Supreme Court of New South Wales in 1973, serving until 1983.
In 1970, Wootten helped establish the Aboriginal Legal Service, becoming its first president.
On 13 July 1964, the University of NSW University Council approved the creation of the UNSW Faculty of Law. On 24 January 1966, the Foundation Chair of Law was created, with the appointee to also be the Dean of the Faculty of Law. On 8 September 1969, Wootten was appointed to this position, where, in 1971, he would oversee the first teaching classes in the faculty.
In 1949, Wootten was called to the bar in New South Wales but did not commence practising as a barrister until 1951. In 1966, he took silk.
Wootten was educated at Sydney Boys High School in Surry Hills, graduating in the class of 1939, and the University of Sydney, from 1940 to 1945, where he earned a B.A., and the Sydney Law School, then the only law school in New South Wales, where he earned an LL.B.
John Halden Wootten AC QC (19 December 1922 – 27 July 2021) was an Australian lawyer and legal academic and the founder of the University of New South Wales Faculty of Law, of which he was the Foundation Chair and its inaugural Dean. Wootten served in multiple capacities and offices, including as a Judge of the Supreme Court of New South Wales, a Chairman of the Law Reform Commission of New South Wales, and a Deputy President of the Native Title Tribunal.
