1999 Law Handbook - Monash University Law Review

Monash University Law Review

The Monash University Law Review has been published since 1974. It aims to produce a forum of international standard in which law teachers, practitioners, and students can discuss important and current questions relating to the theory and practice of law. The review contains a number of articles, case and legislative comments, analysis of law reform proposals and reviews of recent publications contributed by staff members, students and others outside the faculty.
All editorial and administrative work is performed by student members of the editorial committee, with the assistance of faculty advisers. Student positions on the committee are usually by invitation based upon academic performance. Through the tasks of footnote checking, proofreading, selection and editing of manuscripts, and the writing of case notes and book reviews, student members are able to acquire valuable skills in legal writing, editing and administration.
An important aspect of the review is the publishing of the annual Lucinda Lecture, sponsored jointly by the faculty and the Law Book Company. A Law Review dinner is held each academic year.
The Review is published twice yearly and has a wide circulation both nationally and internationally.
