Terry Purcell's memoir chronicles his journey as a legal reformer, spanning from his early recognition of the shortcomings in legal services in the 1960s to his tenure as Director of the Law Foundation of NSW until 1995. His experiences, including a Churchill Fellowship that exposed him to international reforms, shaped his commitment to improving access to justice. Purcell's initiatives ranged from digitizing legal data to promoting community legal education. Witnessing Australia's transformative social and legal landscape from the Menzies era to the Hawke-Keating period, he remained dedicated. Today, retired, Purcell resides with his family, leaving behind a legacy of advocacy.
