Victor Zammit, LL.B., Ph.D.
Victor
James Zammit, LL.B, Ph.D., is a retired attorney of
the Supreme Court of the New South Wales and the High
Court of Australia. He has served as an attorney in
the Local, District, and Supreme Courts in Sydney, has
worked as a company-law consultant ,and lectured in
Corporations Law. Also, he has worked part-time for
police prosecution. In 1979, Zammit was a member of
the United Nations Association of New South Wales -
Human Rights Committee.
In his work as a
lawyer, Zammit became a 'professional skeptic' since
he was never in a position to believe anyone unless
the client had objective evidence to support the client's
claims. He feels that he holds a comparative advantage
over most skeptics when dealing with afterlife evidence
because of his professional expertise in knowing what
technically constitutes admissible evidence and his
formal qualifications in Scientific Method and Psychology.
Although initially
suspicious of the New Age Movement for what appeared
to be its blatant commercial exploitation of people's
basic instinctual tendency for spiritual development,
after many years as an open-minded skeptic, Zammit had
a number of repeated psychic/mediumistic experiences
which set him questioning, reading, and researching.
Adopting a scientific criterion, he was able to select
that information which could withstand and pass the
many rigid tests of repeatability and objectivity. Currently,
he does afterlife investigations virtually seven days
a week.
Zammit wrote
A Lawyer Presents the Case For The Afterlife (ISBN:
0-9580115-0-8), which has been translated into Italian,
Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch and now is in the process
of being translated into German and French. The same
book has been translated into Russian and is now being
sold in Russian bookshops. It is available free of charge
on his website www.victorzammit.com.
For the last 10
years, Zammit has sent out a weekly Friday Afterlife
Report to subscribers in more than seventy countries.
Since 2002, Victor has had a regular half-page column
in the newspaper Psychic World and is its Australian
representative. (Psychic World Publishing Co. Ltd. P.O.
Box 14, Greenford, Middlesex, UB6 OUF. England.) An
article by journalist Francis Wilkins about Zammit's
empirical afterlife research appeared in the ultra-conservative
lawyers' journal Lawyers' Weekly on 27 April
2001.
Since 2001, Victor
Zammit has sponsored a one-million-dollar challenge
to anyone in the world who can rebut the existing evidence
for the afterlife. Up 'til now, no scientist, no physicist,
no biologist, no psychologist, no empiricist, no skeptical
debunker - no one has been able to show where, when,
how, or why the evidence is invalid.
A Euro-Australian,
Zammit earned his B.A. at the University of New South
Wales, a Graduate Diploma in Education from the Sydney
College of Advanced Education, and his masters degree,
law degree, and Ph.D. from the University of New South
Wales.
