1938

David Kingsley Malcolm, AC, QC (6 May 1938 – 20 October 2014) was the Chief Justice of Western Australia from May 1988 until his retirement from the bench in February 2006.

He was also an expatriate justice of the Supreme Court of Fiji.

Malcolm was educated at Guildford Grammar School and went on to the University of Western Australia, graduating Bachelor of Laws in 1959.

1960

He was chosen as Western Australia's Rhodes Scholar in 1960 and subsequently completed a Bachelor of Civil Law at Wadham College, Oxford.

Malcolm served his articles of clerkship in Perth with Stone James & Co., then joined Muir Williams Nicholson as a partner upon his admission to the bar in 1964.

1967

In 1967 he joined the Asian Development Bank's legal department in Manila.

1970

He remained with the ADB until 1970 as deputy general counsel and traveled widely in Asia.

1979

After returning to Perth, Malcolm resumed his role in Muir Williams Nicholson's litigation department, up until its merger with Sydney firm Freehill Hollingdale & Page in 1979.

1980

He then joined the independent bar and was appointed Queen's Counsel in 1980.

1982

Malcolm was president of the Western Australian Bar Association from 1982 to 1984 and vice-president of the Australian Bar Association in 1984.

He practised across a wide range of areas including "income tax, mining, shipping, equity, intellectual property and corporations law".
