Promise of Law Reform

The Promise of Law Reform is the most comprehensive examination of the institutions and processes of law reform published in the common law world and provides a rich source of information, inspiration, and ideas. It is an edited collection of 30 essays published to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Australian Law Reform Commission. The authors--law reform commissioners, judges, academics, politicians, government officials, and journalists--reflect the plurality of law reform styles and structures, within Australia and overseas. They cover the broad themes of the history, purpose, and function of law reform; institutional design of law reform agencies; methodology and operations; how successful law reform should be assessed and judged; cooperation and mutual assistance; other law reform initiatives; and law reform in action.Opeskin, Brian is the author of 'Promise of Law Reform', published 2005 under ISBN 9781862875845 and ISBN 1862875847.
