With more than 400 entries, many of which contain previously unpublished material, it covers all the justices, the major areas of law to which the Court has contributed, and its most significant cases. This pioneering work scrutinises the role and record of the Court, and distils the essence of topics as diverse as admiralty, humour, sex, judicial law-making, precedent, and reform. In doing so, it traces the growth of a mature and independent Australian legal system. Importantly, the book is not confined to the law. It looks also at the Court itself as an institution: its inner workings, its methods and mores, its history, and its impact on Australian Law, politics, and society. The book is not just for lawyer. The general reader willl be rewarded with fascinating insights from a wide range of expert commentators, including many of the Justices themselves. The coverage of such topics as accountability, the Lindy Chamberlain case, Mabo, cultural diversity, feminism, legalism, and sovereignty ives the book astonishing breadth and depth. This engaging book also brings out the human dimension of the High Court?s story, with entries on notable counsel, vexatious litigans, appoinments that might have been, personal relations between the Justices, and the extraordinary revelations in the Dixon diaries. The book is a rich parade of characters, concepts and events. The Oxford Companion to the high court of Australia is not only the definitive reference book on the court; it is also a work of scolarship and literature in its own right. It goes beyond description to analysis, criticism, reflection and evaluation. This authoritative yet accessible book is a must for anyone interested in a fundamental but suprisingly neglected aspect of Australia government and society. 4a1.
