Summary
Sam Ricketson was the first to comprehensively delineate and describe, in Australia, the various parts of the area of law which has come to be known as intellectual property. In addition, Sam has written seminal works on international treaties, and has been a participant, commentator on and observer of law reform throughout his career. This chapter reviews some aspects of his long and distinguished career as a researcher, teacher, advocate and mentor and discusses the tensions involved in academic engagement in law reform, including the role that academics have performed in law reform bodies and how it all fits into the demand to do more impact and engagement.
