Essays on Law & Government Volume 2 - PDF

Part of the Finn Essay Series available in PDF. This, the second volume of this series of essays in law and government, moves to a more particular theme. It is that of the citizen-state relationship as that relationship is worked out in our courts. For this reason the volume does not limit itself to any one particular body of legal doctrine which regulates that relationship. Rather, it ranges widely across different bodies of law. Its object in this is to reveal more fully than would otherwise be the case, the manner in which the courts (with or without statutory impetus) mediate between the citizen and the state and the techniques and values relied upon in that process.

As with its predecessor, this collection of essays is the product of a small seminar held at the Australian National University in August 1995.
