Emeritus Professor Gabriël A. Moens is a prominent Australian academic, researcher, teacher and
administrator and his legacy is nothing short of extraordinary. Over his long and distinguished
career he has acquired a solid reputation as a leading academic expert in constitutional law, legal
philosophy, and business law, in particular in its international and comparative dimensions.
Edited by Professor Augusto Zimmermann, ‘A Commitment to Excellence: Essays in
Honour of Professor Gabriël A. Moens’ is a collection of essays written by leading lawyers and
academics who share a profound admiration for his extraordinary life and legacy. These essays
address some of the topics Professor Moens has taught during his highly successful career. These
include constitutional law, contract law, comparative law, jurisprudence, European Union law,
International commercial law, trade law, arbitration law and practice, and mooting.
The result is a deeply impressive collection of articles that is a most fitting tribute to the
remarkable career of Professor Moens.
“It is a privilege to be invited to contribute an essay to a collection that honours the work of
Gabriël A. Moens, Emeritus Professor of Law of the University of Queensland. Professor Moens
is a long-time colleague, friend and mentor. A man of boundless intellectual ability and energy, he
was an inspiration to students and colleagues and who was extraordinarily generous with his time
and resources. He was the master of the inspirational lecture with the rare quality of sustaining
unwavering student engagement with the most complex of topics.”
– Suri Ratnapala, Emeritus Professor of Law, The University of Queensland
“Gabriël Moens was the supervisor of my Master of Laws thesis on the implied freedom of political
communication and was kind enough to read and comment extensively on my PhD thesis on Australian
federalism. Gabriël’s incisive ability to see immediately what was essential in a line of argument –
as distinct from what was merely tangential to it – was exactly the kind of advice that an inquisitive
graduate student like me needed. I will always be grateful to him for the sage advice and unwavering
support he gave me during those formative years".
– Nicholas Aroney, Professor of Law, The University of Queensland
