This book with 250 photos provides the general public and the legal fraternity with a reliable definitive reference to the people and institutions that make up the Australian legal scene.
The Law Council of Australia is the peak national body for the legal profession. It has the unique authority to present in highly accessible form the history, make up and workings of our courts, law firms, law societies, government authorities, law faculties, international links and federal structure. Instead of being a dry description of offices it emphasises the role of the many individuals, today and back into colonial times, who make Australia work as a society under the rule of law.
Chronological appendices and an index provide for easy reference.
