Reviews

This publication ... has become the epitome of where to look to identify where the thinking of the High Court is, compared with where it was in the past. ... Professor Zines has frequently been complimented on his previous works and I can do no better than urge anyone with a love of our Constitution to take the time to further their understanding by reading this [4th] edition. It will undoubtedly leave you with a greater understanding of where the High Court is at and how it has got there. On scale of 10, this is accorded a 9.5. - The Law Letter (Tasmania)
