Review

Engaging and searching, this festschrift is a worthy tribute to its honorand, Emeritus Professor Mark Aronson.The book's likely readership is wide, not confined to Australian administrative law scholars but extending broadly to those with an interest in public law.The book is exceptionally rich in coverage and ideas. It is eminently readable, from cover to cover or selectively as a resource for teaching and research. It is a substantial contribution to public law scholarship, as befits its honorand. Nicola Franklin University of New South Wales Law Journal Volume 32 (1) the volumes provide a wide audience for many erudite and deserving papers. They provide an oppurtunity for public lawyers to dip in to other jurisdictions and to identify commonalities and the helpful foreign reference. Tom Hickman, Blackstone Chambers Judicial Review 2009 This collection of essays on administrative law, which responds to Mark Aronson's interest over his academic career, constitutes a very interesting tool for the reader interested in administrative law in the common law jurisdiction. The questions raised by Justice Michael Kirby of the High Court of Australia in the introduction of this book, can be the inspiration for further scientific thought and research. V.
