Andrew Rogers (judge)

Andrew John Rogers

AO KC (30 April 1933 – 4 February 2024) was an Australian corporate and legal advisor, who was a Judge of the Supreme Court of New South Wales

from 1979 to 1993.

Rogers was educated at the

Queen's Counsel. In 1979, he was appointed a Judge of the Supreme Court, and from 1987 to 1992 was the chief judge of the court's commercial division.^[1]

In the 1980s, Rogers took the unusual step of enforcing how barristers ran commercial cause cases in the Supreme Court. Fellow Supreme Court judge George Palmer, a commercial barrister at the time, recalled the changes as "shocking", "utterly brutal", and the most dramatic change to court procedure in 150 years.[2]

Since his retirement from the bench in 1993, he worked as a legal consultant for the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) and the law firm Clayton Utz.^[1]

Rogers was married to the former Australian Senator Helen Coonan.^[3]
