I remember Michael Coper as a very able and much respected lawyer and teacher and a thoroughly decent human being. My deepest condolences to his family.

Incredibly kind, sincere, patient, wise and humble man. Professor Coper taught me Commonwealth Constitution Law in 2016 and I had the privilege of attending multiple consultations with him. I last got to meet him in December 2018 at my graduation at the ANU. I'm deeply saddened by the news and send my deepest condolences to his family and close friends. He will be dearly missed.

One of the nicest individuals I have ever known. He was an adornment to the law and a superb colleague on the Council of Australian Law Deans.
