Shand was born in Ulladulla, New South Wales, to John Shand and Mary (née Barclay). John Shand (1825–1891) had arrived in Sydney in 1853 as a stonemason before becoming a farmer and finally a police magistrate at Penrith Court. Shand Snr founded a legal dynasty that produced three generations of barristers. A. B. Shand, as he came to be known, was educated at Newington College commencing in 1880.[5] He went up to the University of Sydney and graduated as a Bachelor of Arts in 1884.[6] Following graduation and articles, Shand was admitted to the New South Wales Bar in 1887. He was the Crown Prosecutor on the NSW western circuit in 1895-6 and took silk in 1906. He became a leading member of the Bar Council. His wife, Florence (née Brierley), became a tireless worker for the poor and infirm and sat on the boards of various hospitals, schools and women's auxiliaries.[7] She died in October 1929.[8] Mrs Shand was the sister of Louisa Victoria, Mrs Cecil Purser (née Brierley).[9] Shand retired in 1930[10] and lived in retirement in Vaucluse, New South Wales, until his death at St Vincent's Hospital, Sydney.[11]
