James C. S. Burchett

James Charles Sholto Burchett, Queen's Counsel, was Justice of the Federal Court of Australia and was president of the Australian Copyright Tribunal.

He conducted the 2001 Inquiry into Military Justice in the Australian Defence Force, which concluded that there was not a culture of widespread or systemic avoidance of due disciplinary processes, nor the use of violence to maintain discipline, in the ADF.

Burchett was appointed as the independent code reviewer for the Australian copyright collecting societies' voluntary code of conduct, to monitor and report on compliance with the code. He was Chairperson of the Australian Electoral Commission.
