Mr Kirby, who will be on campus for a series of events on Tuesday, will be joined by UOW alumni, and now University of Sydney lecturer, Dr Elisa Arcioni and University of Oxford Professor James Goudkamp.
They will hold a public conversation focused on Life in the High Court of Australia Remembered.
Dr Arcioni and Professor Goudkamp were Mr Kirby's associates during his time on the bench (1996-2009).
Mr Kirby and Associate Professor Frances Steel, an historian from UOW's School of Humanities and Social Inquiry, will deliver a lecture on The 1919 Amritsar Massacre and the British Empire.
Justice Kirby, who has a strong relationship with UOW, will also meet and greet PhD students from the School of Law, to discuss Inspiration and Motivation: Finding It and Holding It Tight.
A friend and colleague of the founding Dean of Law at UOW, Professor Jack Goldring, Justice Kirby delivered the Jack Goldring Memorial Lecture in 2013.
He also opened the School of Law at UOW South Western Sydney in 2018.
Three years earlier Justice Kirby was awarded an honorary Doctor of Philosophy by the university.

Wollongong born and bred. I love reporting about the Illawarra region and have been doing it for more than 20 years. I've moved into sport recently after covering the education round for the last five plus years for the Illawarra Mercury. It's been a great pleasure.
