George Winterton - Professor Winterton

Professor Winterton

George Winterton was ultimately promoted to professor of law at the University of New South Wales, who awarded him a Jubilee Medallion in 1999. In 2004 he became the inaugural Professor of Constitutional Law at the University of Sydney, where he taught Federal Constitutional Law, High Court of Australia, and Comparative Constitutional Law. He did not sever his ties with the University of New South Wales, which recognised his service by appointing him Emeritus Professor in 2004. His ill-health resulted in his early "retirement", and appointment as Honorary Professor at the University of Sydney, but he continued to teach, research and publish.

The University of Western Australia awarded him the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws in 2007.
