The Rule Of Law And The Constitution

There is, perhaps, no one with more authority to speak on the complex and fascinating topic of the rule of law, the interpretation of the Constitution, and the whole role of the judiciary in our legal system, than Chief Justice of the High Court of Australia, the Honourable Murray Gleeson, AC.

In recent decades the High Court has often freely interpreted the Constitution with regard to the rule of law in many contentious issues. Chief Justice Gleeson's opinions on this matter are sure to be lively, stimulating and, with the centenary of federation and the constitution approaching, timely.
