Portion used

Official photograph, Commonwealth of Australia

Low resolution?

Yes

Purpose of use

To illustrate the article on this prominent ChiefJustice of the High Court of Australia. No image of the judge or anything to do with his work (besides extremely generic photographs) are available that might act as a distinct image to improve this article.

Replaceable?

This image is almost impossible to replace. Photographs of Chief Justice Gleeson in court, where he would most likely be seen, are illegal and punishable by fines; and by tradition judges in Australia, even High Court judges, do not make frequent public appearances or make public comment. It would be quite impossible in Australia to get a meeting with the judge as they are heavily protected with security. While appearances might happen on occasions, they would be rare and usually limited to specific groups.
