This new title in the Law Guidebook series, the Constitutional Law Guidebook, explains the basic principles of the law and how they have been applied in leading cases. It is designed as a foundation for students who are new to the topic, and also as a ready reference point for those engaged in revision. The text uses a ‘whole document’ approach to give students grounding in the key principles of Commonwealth and State Constitutional Law and shows them how to apply their lecture content into ‘real life’ contexts. The subject of constitutional law is kept engaging by using realistic situations to show how the law underlies everyday life.

New Online Resource Centre provides guidance for students when answering problem questions as well as example material about how to structure a legal advice on a constitutional law matter.

• Diagrams, cases to remember, examples and ‘alerts’ which draw attention to problematic areas of the law are used to assist students in understanding the inter-linked nature of constitutional law.
• Problem questions in chapters 7-17 challenge students to apply the knowledge they have learnt in that chapter and in preceding ones.
