TRADITION AND CHANGE IN
AUSTRALIAN LAW, 4TH EDITION
Patrick Parkinson
Tradition and Change in Australian Law,
4 th Edition, imparts a thorough understanding
of the institutions and systems of Australian law
by revisiting their origins. It features a detailed
explanation of the Australian legal system,
past and present, covering the origins of the
Western legal tradition, the importance of
English history in shaping Australian law and
the path from colonisation to independence.
This popular text deals not only with the
contemporary court system, judicial reasoning
and statutory interpretation, but also examines,
in the final chapter, the challenges for the future,
given that traditions offer the framework for
evolutionary change.
This fourth edition, which has been thoroughly
revised and updated, provides an excellent
foundation for students beginning the study
of law. Its approachable style also makes it
useful for the general reader who wants to
gain an understanding of Australian law,
past, present and future.
