Enid Marjorie Russell (1904-1958) was a solicitor in Western Australia. She was the first female graduate of the University of Western Australia Law School. The year following graduation she was admitted as a legal practitioner in Western Australia and commenced practice, becoming the first Western Australian woman admitted to legal practice in Western Australia who actually practised in the state. She was in fact also the first graduate of the University of Western Australia to be admitted to the bar in that state.[1]

Early life

edit

Enid Russell was born in 1904 in Perth, the daughter of lawyer Charles Townsend Russell and his wife Adelaide (née King-Brooks).[2] She attended Perth Modern School, matriculating in 1921.[1]

Beginning career

edit

Russell initially studied commercial office practice for a year before commencing work as a typist at her father's former law firm of Robinson, Cox & Wheatley. Over several years she also completed a Bachelor of Arts degree at the University of Western Australia, completing it in 1926. This achievement led to her being articled to her employer's firm, but with the commencement of the Law School at the University of WA in 1928 she then added a Bachelor of Laws degree to her resume, completing that in 1930.[1]

As a result of her articles and her law degree, Russell was admitted as a legal practitioner in Western Australia on 17 March 1931, the first woman to be so admitted on the basis of studies completed in Western Australia, and the first to actively practice as a solicitor following her admission. (Alice Mary Cummins had been admitted to practice in 1930 on the basis of qualifications completed in South Australia, but she never entered legal practice).[3]

World War II and after

edit

During World War II Russell served in the South African Women's Army Corps. Following the war she returned to legal practice in Perth, at the same time being engaged by the University of WA Law School to lecture on a part-time basis between 1946 and 1951. Towards the end of this time she commenced working on her major publication, A History of the Law in Western Australia, but for some reason this was set aside and not completed or published during her lifetime.[4] By 1951, Russell was working as a solicitor in the practice of Alec Edwin Ball in the Western Australian country town of Harvey, jointly with another solicitor taking over the practice towards the end of the year as Ball prepared to take up a non-legal educational appointment.[5]

Enid Russell died in Perth on 24 September 1958, at the age of only 54 years. She was buried in Karrakatta Cemetery in Perth.[6]

Legacy

edit

The major publication of her professional life, which remained incomplete at her death, was A History of the Law in Western Australia. Some twenty years after her death, this book was edited and completed, being published by the then-University of Western Australia Press as part of the WAY 79 celebrations of Western Australia's sesquicentenary in 1979[7][4]

Mount Lico is an inselberg mountain in the Alto Molocue District of Zambezia Province in northern Mozambique, most notable for its old-growth rainforest and its lack of penetration by humans. Mount Lico is approximately 1,100 metres (3,600 feet) above sea level but is distinctive in having sheer rock walls of up to 700 metres (2,300 feet) above the surrounding countryside which have prevented almost all human intrusion. The forest on top, within a volcanic crater, covers only about 30 hectares (0.12 square miles).

In 2012 Mt Lico was "discovered", or more correctly, identified as a place of special scientific interest, by Julian Bayliss of Oxford Brookes University, who had earlier similarly identified Mount Mabu some 70 kilometres (43 miles) to the south-west, by using Google Earth to search for significant landforms and vegetation features.[1]

In May 2018, Bayliss led a multidisciplinary expedition to scale the sheer walls of Mount Lico and begin the study of its unique habitat.[2] Although it had been considered unlikely that humans would have entered the mountain's forest prior to this expedition, evidence of some limited human visitation was discovered in the form of several pots which had been placed, possibly for religious reasons, at the source of a stream on the mountain top.[3]
