Details

This volume concerns legal history turns – that is, new directions or volte-faces in legal history and its interdisciplinarity.

Legal history turns include deviations from historically-situated interpretations and practices in law and legal scholarship. The papers in this volume grew from the Griffith Law School’s Legal History Seminar Series, a public lecture initiative intended to contribute to the interest in legal history of the profession, judiciary, academe, and the public.

Written by a cast that includes authors with internationally-impressive legal history credentials, this collection illustrates legal history turns’ dynamism and diversity, and is introduced with a foreword by The Honourable Justice Susan Kiefel AC.

  • Dr Karen Schultz on Turns’ topics and optics
  • Professor Emeritus John McLaren on the Comparative Turn
  • Associate Professor Penny Crofts on the Identic Turn
  • Professor Mark Finnane on the Narrative Turn
  • Professor The Honourable William Gummow AC on the Constitutional Turn
  • Professor Emeritus David Saunders on the Biographical Turn
  • Professor Jim Phillips on the Contextual Turn
