As a field of study, legal history has an unsteady place in
Australian law schools yet academic research and writing in the
field of legal history and at the intersections of the disciplines
of 'law' and 'history' is undergoing something of a renaissance,
with rich and vibrant new works regularly appearing in specialist
journals and scholarly monographs.This collection seeks to
reinvigorate the study of history within the law school curriculum,
by showcasing what students of the law can achieve when, addressing
topics from the use of Magna Carta as history and precedent in
sixteenth-century England to the political manoeuvres behind the
failed impeachment of President Bill Clinton in late
twentieth-century America, they seek to understand legal processes
and institutions historically.The volume comprises outstanding
legal history papers authored by graduate (final year JD) students
in the Melbourne Law School.This collection is dedicated to two
women who championed the teaching of legal history at the Melbourne
Law School in the 1960s-Dr Ruth Campbell and Mrs Betty Hayes.
