| Summary |
"This book examines the jurisdiction of the High Court, federal courts and territory courts, as well as the federal jurisdiction of state courts. It is an area of law that has been described as technical, complicated, difficult and not infrequently absurd. It is, however, the direct result of the federal distribution of judicial power made by the Australian Constitution and it is of great practical importance. Much of the difficulty and some of the absurdity has come about because of the unthinking copying of the United States Constitution. On a number of matters, therefore, the book contains an analysis of the American position."-- |
