There is a portrait of former High Court chief justice Murray Gleeson located just by the door of the chambers of his daughter Jacqueline at the Federal Court in Sydney.
It can be seen from her desk, if she turns and looks over her left shoulder. It is a typically austere pose that reflects his ironic nickname – The Smiler.
