An important collection of essays by contributors including Professor Kathleen Mahoney, The Honourable Duncan Kerr MP, Justice Elizabeth Evatt, Moira Rayner, Justice Jane Matthews, Chief Judge Waldron,
Magistrate Jennifer Coate, Deborah Cass, Justice Deidre O’Connor,
Magistrate Jelena Popovich, Beth Wilson, Therese McCarthy, Chief Justice Alastair Nicholson and Dr Jocelynne Scutt. Based upon a ground-breaking Women and Law conference, this publication reinforces the need for ongoing strategies to ensure continuing reform of the legal system in relation to judicial attitudes towards women.

Becoming aware, staying aware, recognising when our important institutions like the Courts of Law and those who work in them need renovating and updating and being involved: The Women and the Law conference held a torch above what was a current public debate focussing especially upon judicial attitudes and their impact on women.

Essential for all universities, libraries, legal bookshops and NGOs.
