About the Donor
This Award honours the late Punch Coomaraswamy (1925 – 1999). Mr Coomaraswamy was a leading advocate before he left the bar to enter public service as Speaker of Parliament, diplomat and Judge of the High Court. He valued above all else the precise use of language and its norms in articulating the analysis and application of legal principles.
