ABSTRACT

Hon Russell Fox argues that the existing common law procedural system is not equal to the demands of the coming century. Beginning with a thoroughly researched analysis of the large scale dissatisfaction with and disaffection from the present day courts, this book proposes means for approaching Justice in the Twenty-First Century. This book is essential reading for all lawyers, judges, politicians and citizens interested in the question of remedying the significant problems plaguing the current system for the provision of justice in Australia, England and the United States. Foreword provided by the Rt Hon Lord Irvine of Lairg, the Lord Chancellor of Great Britain.
