I have constructed many diverse applications using the shell and continue to do so, as my main interest. I am the most senior legal practitioner in the world with a PhD in legal knowledge engineering. I had extensive experience in legal practice in Australia and in London before becoming a law lecturer in business schools in various tertiary education institutions in Australia. While I was a Visiting Fellow in Law at Cambridge University and collaborating in the first ESPRIT-funded legal project which used Prolog, I discovered spherical logic, as a move from hard-coded logic programming and rule-base systems to an easier object-oriented programming. I reported it in 1990 in my LL.M thesis at University of Sydney. The thesis was revised and published in England as a book, Artificial Legal Intelligence (1997) in Dartmouth's Applied Legal Philosophy Series. I have published my research work from time to time in numerous conferences in the field. My son and co-author who programmed eGanges in Java, is currently writing up his mathematical doctoral thesis on its post-modern logic.
