<p>It has been seven years since the last edition of Professor Zines's classic book, The High Court and the Constitution. In that time the High Court has handed down a range of important decisions transforming, extending and developing existing constitutional law principles. The 6th edition of the book, by Dr James Stellios, contains analysis and critique of the High Court's jurisprudence over that period. Changes have been made to all chapters to update the existing law. However, the most significant updates relate to:</p> <ul>
<li>The reformulation of the Commonwealth's executive power to contract and spend following the High Court's decisions in Pape and the two Williams cases; </li> <li>The High Court's continuing development of Chapter III principles, particularly its renewed interest in the Kable limitation on State Parliaments; </li> <li>The uncertainties appearing in recent High Court cases on the implied freedom of political communication; </li> <li>The High Court's application of s 92 to national markets in the internet-based new economy.</li>
</ul>

<p>What do constitutional interpretation and legal education have in common? For one thing, they share the same tension between theory and practice, between form and substance, between process and outcomes, between constancy and change, and between local and comparative perspectives. Each also has a substratum of fundamental underlying values that demand, but do not always receive, clear articulation. From the gripping story of the revolution that swept away the old law on section 92 of the Constitution, to the endemic conflict in the judicial process between legalism and realism, to the never-ending controversy about the Dismissal, to perceiving the world and organising legal knowledge in new ways through biography and oral history, to the role of educators in shaping the views and values of newcomers to this knowledge, this book contains over a dozen sparkling essays by some of Australia’s most renowned and respected lawyers, as well as a substantial reflective commentary by Michael Coper himself.</p>
