Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This is a contemporary legal history book for Australian law students, written in an engaging style and rich with learning features and illustrations. The writers are a unique combination of talents, bringing together their fields of research and teaching in Australian history, British constitutional history and modern Australian law. The first part provides the social and political contexts for legal history in medieval and early modern England and America, explaining the English law which came to Australia in 1788. This includes:The origins of the common lawThe growth of the legal professionThe making of the Magna Carta The English Civil Wars The Bill of RightsThe American War of Independence.The second part examines the development of the law in Australia to the present day, including:The English criminal justice system and convict transportationThe role of the Privy Council in 19th century Indigenous Australia in the colonial period The federation movementConstitutional Independence The 1967 Australian referendum and the land rights movement.The comprehensive coverage of several centuries is balanced by a dynamic writing style and tools to guide the student through each chapter including learning outcomes, chapter outlines and discussion points. The historical analysis is brought to life by the use of primary documentary evidence such as charters, statutes, medieval source books and Coke's reports, and a series of historical cameos - focused studies of notable people and issues from King Edward I and Edward Coke to Henry Parkes and Eddie Mabo - and constitutional detours addressing topics such as the separation of powers, judicial review and federalism.A Legal History for Australia is an engaging textbook, cogently written and imaginatively resourced and is supported by a companion website: Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
