Description

This critique of the Australian legal system argues that the present system often obstructs justice, that common law does not seek the truth and that trials are not designed to achieve a just outcome . Discusses topics such as the jury system, civil litigation, the right of silence, the adversary system and the doctrine of precedent. Includes references and an index. The author is a journalist with 'The Australian'. He was five times winner of the Walkley Award for National Journalism and author of 'Can of Worms' 'Amazing Scenes' and 'Trial by Voodoo'.
