An accessible introduction to the fundamental principles of Australian constitutional law.
Australian Constitutional Law introduces the core areas of Australian constitutional law in a logical and intuitive way. It follows a thematic and historical approach, utilising the idea of constitutional movement to enable you to see where and how the law was formed, how the law has reached its current state and where it might go in the future.
Concise yet comprehensive, this is an accessible and engaging text. It features a unique pedagogical approach to support your learning and place the law in the context of constitutional values and historical trends.
KEY FEATURES
