Australian Law Dictionary
This new dictionary provides an excellent resource for both undergraduates studying law, and others working in related fields. It contextualises legal concepts within the framework of the ‘Priestley 11’, the core subjects in law that must be studied by all undergraduates. Clear, concise, accessible language and expository diagrams clarify complex concepts, supporting the underpinning pedagogical approach. It offers a good range of appendices. There is currently no other comparable text in the market; this is a valuable contribution.
