Herbert Vere Evatt, (30 April 1894 – 2 November 1965), usually known as H. V. Evatt and often as "Doc" Evatt on account of his LLD degree, was an Australian judge, lawyer, parliamentarian and writer. Evatt was the Chief Justice of New South Wales from 1960 to 1962, the Leader of the Australian Labor Party (and Leader of the Opposition) from 1951 to 1960, the third President of the United Nations General Assembly from 1948 to 1949 and helped draft the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the first Chairman of the United Nations Atomic Energy Commission in 1946, the Attorney-General and Minister for External Affairs from 1941 to 1949, and a Justice of the High Court of Australia from 1930 to 1940. ==Early years and education== Evatt was born in Maitland, New South Wales, as the fifth of eight sons of John Ashmore Evatt, an English publican from British India, and Sydney-born Irish-Australian Jane "Jeanie" Sophia (née Gray). His younger brother was politician and lawyer Clive Evatt. Their father died when Bert was 7 years old, and his mother shouldered the task of encouraging an intellectually gifted family. He was never known as Herbert as his family called him "Bert". He attended local public schools of East Maitland Superior Public School and then Fort Street High School in Sydney, winning scholarships to the University of Sydney, where he was a resident of St Andrew's College. He graduated in 1919 with a Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics, Logic, Philosophy and English with (Triple)〔(Evatt biodata ), Flinders University website〕 First-Class Honours and the University Medal in Philosophy in 1915, a Master of Arts in 1916, and a Bachelor of Laws with First-Class Honours and the University Medal in 1918.〔 〕 Evatt played cricket, rugby league football, hockey and baseball.〔(Evatt biodata ), trove.nla.gov.au (19 December 1930)〕 He was also the Editor of ''Hermes'', the annual student literary journal, was a Tutor at St Andrew's College, and the President of the University of Sydney Union from 1916–17.
