| Summary |
As a field of study, legal history has an unsteady place in Australian law schools, yet academic research and writing in the field of legal history and at the intersections of the disciplines of 'law' and history' is undergoing something of a renaissance, with rich and vibrant new works regularly appearing in specialist journals and scholarly monographs. This collection seeks to reinvigorate the study of history within the law school curriculum by showcasing what students of the law can achieve when they seek to understand legal processes and institutions historically. Addressing topics from the use of Magna Carta as history and precedent in sixteenth-century Englad to the political manoeuvres behind the failed impeachment of President Bill Clinton in late twentieth-century America, the volume comprises outstanding legal history papers authored by graduate (final year JD) students in the Melbourne Law School |
