LAW413: Australian Legal History |
A study of the origins, sources and nature of the law and legal institutions of the Australian colonies, and of the tension between local and imperial pressures on the shape of the law. A major theme is an examination of the degree to which Australian law differed from that of England. The unit contains a substantial research element, which may include post-federation substantive law. Comparisons will be made with the legal histories of similar countries, particularly Canada.
