In recent years, controversy has surrounded the role of top
government lawyers in the United States and the United Kingdom.
Allegations of bad lawyering and bad ethics in public office over
the 'torture memos' in the United States and the political pressure
placed on the Attorney-General in the United Kingdom to approve the
legality of the Iraq war, have seen these relatively obscure group
of government lawyers thrust into the public debate. Unlike its
Anglo-American contemporaries, Australia's chief legal adviser, the
Solicitor-General, has remained largely out of the public eye. This
collection provides a rare and overdue insight into a fundamental
public institution in all Australian jurisdictions. It provides a
historical, theoretical, practical and comparative perspective of
this little known, but vitally important, office at a time when the
transparency and accountability of government has taken on an
increased significance. Of interest to anyone interested in the
integrity of government, the book will be particularly useful to
government, political parties and the academy. It will also be a
valuable reference work to those working towards a redefinition of
the role of top government legal advisors.
