Published in association with the Australian Academy of Law, this collection draws on the career of one of Australia’s leading jurists, the Honourable James Allsop AC.
As the editors, Ruth Higgins SC and Kevin Connor SC, state in their introduction: “A pervasive concern of the Honourable James Allsop AC, in both his judicial and extra-judicial writings, has been the pursuit of the often ineffable, but always necessary, human element in the law.”
The book is divided into six parts and contains 18 papers, speeches and chapters which cover the nature of law and public power, the profession and judiciary, and substantive aspects of equity, statute, commercial, and maritime law. The result is a book that reveals the continuities and evolution of Allsop’s thinking, and his significant contribution to public life.
