Australian Feminist Judgments by Bartlett, Francesca

ISBN: 9781849465212 PUBLISHER: Hart Publishing FORMAT: Paperback PAGES: 492 PUBLICATION DATE: 20.11.2014 DIMENSIONS: 24.4 x 17.1 x 2.2 centimetres 2 pounds

DESCRIPTION: This book brings together feminist academics and lawyers to present an impressive collection of alternative judgments in a series of Australian legal cases. By re-imagining original legal decisions through a feminist lens, the collection explores the possibilities, limits and implications of feminist approaches to legal decision-making. Each case is accompanied by a brief commentary that places it in legal and historical context and explains what the feminist rewriting does differently to the original case. The cases not only cover topics of long-standing interest to feminist scholars - such as family law, sexual offences and discrimination law - but also areas which have had less attention, including Indigenous sovereignty, constitutional law, immigration, taxation and environmental law. The collection contributes a distinctly Australian perspective to the growing international literature investigating the role of feminist legal theory in judicial decision-making.
