This book examines the relationship between law and public policy in Australia. It begins with a study of legislation, a somewhat neglected aspect of legal learning. The author argues that to understand legislation one must examine the conditions in which it is made, the legal form it takes, how it it is implemented, and what impact it has. He then turns his attention to the courts and addresses matters such as who uses them, what issues are brought before them, how social issues have to be cast in legal terms to be litigated, how the courts deal with cases, and the impact their decisions have on society. Readership: lawyers, especially those concerned with legislation in Australia.

Principles of Banking Law

This text addresses the legal issues thrown up by modern banking law. It sets out the legal rules within the context of modern banking practice and concentrates on principle rather than detail. The author also addresses many of the problems with which banking law has struggled on a daily basis. Professor Cranston places banking law in a modern financial framework examining multi-functional banking, the foreign exchange and derivative markets, the practice of netting, and the important custodial services performed by banks.

What do judges actually do? What is the everyday reality of judging in civil matters? What falls under the rubric of judging? Written by a legal academic and former judge, this book offers a cogent and accessible account of what it means to be a judge in senior courts and those dealing with smaller claims. Drawing on judicial experiences and the social sciences, Judging is split into two parts. Part I examines the three fundamental values of judging - independence, impartiality, and integrity - and draws out the implications of these for everyday judging. It covers judicial guidance and codes of practice, structural protections for judges, and the behavioural rules for judges both in and away from court. Part II of the book turns to the legal and policy framework for judging, judgecraft, and judicial decision-making. This includes judicial appointments, work conditions, fact finding, litigants in person, ex tempore decisions, and the influences on decisions. Comprehensive and unique, the book demonstrates that the complex work of a judge extends beyond decision-making to matters such as managing cases, other judges, and judicial systems.

Legal Education

This book looks at the civil justice system - the courts and what they do; legal aid and other methods of providing access to justice; lawyers and their conduct; and the role of legal procedure. It also looks at the impact the civil justice system has on wider society, and its relationship with economics and commercial development. The book is largely focussed on Britain, but includes material from the USA, the Indian sub-continent, south-east Asia, and Aboriginal society in Australia.
