Buxton, and Sir Denis Blundell), two solicitors-general (Herbert Edgar Evans and Richard Wild), three attorneys-general (including the current Attorney-General Chris Finlayson), three chief justices (Michael Myers, Sir Humphrey O'Leary, and Richard Wild), numerous High Court and Court of Appeal judges, two prime ministers and a governor-general.
