Gageler is the second solicitor-general to be appointed to the High Court, after Anthony Mason's appointment in 1972, and the first to be appointed directly to the court with no prior judicial experience – Mason had previously served on the Supreme Court of New South Wales.
On 22 August 2023 the Federal Government announced that Gageler would succeed Susan Kiefel as Chief Justice of the High Court upon her retirement at the end of the year.
He graduated from the Australian National University with a Bachelor of Economics in 1980 and a Bachelor of Laws with First Class Honours in 1982.
He resided at Bruce Hall, the university's oldest residential college, in his third year, and at Ursula Hall for his first two.
He then attended Harvard Law School on a Fulbright scholarship, graduating with a Master of Laws in 1987.
Upon return from Harvard Law School, Gageler was called to the bar in Sydney where, for 20 years, he worked as a barrister specialising in constitutional, administrative, revenue and commercial law.
