The monument to Sir Samuel James Way, with its exaggerated plinth and fine bronze work by noted English sculptor R. A. Drury, commemorates the work and achievements of a significant South Australian, and a leading and influential citizen and jurist. The location of the monument outside the University of Adelaide on North Terrace is important given Way's influence on the development of the University and the legal profession.
