George Maxwell (Australian politician)
George Arnot Maxwell (30 April 1859 – 25 June 1935) was a barrister and Australian politician.
==Early life==
Maxwell was born in Montrose, Forfarshire, Scotland and educated in Fife. He migrated to Australia with his family in 1875. He worked briefly as a jackaroo and then completed his matriculation in Melbourne in 1881.〔"(Matriculation Examination )", ''The Argus'', 1 July 1881, p. 3.〕
He subsequently taught at Melbourne schools, including Caulfield Grammar School, while studying arts and law at the University of Melbourne, where from 1884 he was a student of Trinity College. His early training and experiences for his later career as a barrister and politician can be seen in his student activities. In July 1884, he was, along with Trinity student Ernest Selwyn Hughes, a founder of the Shakspeare () Society at the University of Melbourne,〔''(The Argus )'', 6 May 1884, p. 5.〕 and he won the Sir Wigram Allen Prize for Oratory awarded by the Trinity College Dialectic Society in December the same year.〔"(Trinity College Dialectic Society )", ''The Argus'', 4 December 1884, p. 6.〕 In 1889, Maxwell was appointed Prelector of the College's debating society:
The most prominent of the events of the Academic Year has always been the annual mooting of the Trinity College Dialectic Society. The meeting this year will be held on next Wednesday evening, August 14, in the Atheneum Hall, Collins-street. The chair will be taken at 8 o'clock by his Excellency the Acting-Governor, Sir William Robinson, K.C.M.G., the patron of the society, and the annual address will be delivered by the Prelector, Mr. G.A. Maxwell. Mr. Maxwell's subject is "Some Thoughts about Ourselves," and he will endeavor to prove that Australia is especially suited for the development and realisation of the democratic ideal. The history of the colony in the past will be touched upon, and the more striking aspects will be examined with a view to establishing the Prelector's propositions.〔"(Social )", ''Table Talk'', 9 August 1889, p. 11.〕
He was admitted to the Bar in 1891 and became successful at criminal law and was appointed King's Counsel in 1926.
