Law, Lawyers and JusticeThrough Australian Lenses\nAuthor(s): Kim D Weinert, Karen Crawley, Kieran Tranter\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9781032237237, 978-1032237237\nSynopsis\nThis book engages with the place of law and legality within Australias distinctive contribution to global televisual culture.\n\nAustralian popular culture has created a lasting legacy for good or bad of representations of law, lawyers and justice down under. Within films and television of striking landscapes, peopled with heroes, antiheroes, survivors and jokers, there is a fixation on law, conflicts between legal orders, brutal violence and survival. Deeply compromised by the ongoing violence against the lives and laws of First Nation Australians, Australian film and television has sharply illuminated what it means to live with a rule of law that rules with a legacy, and a reality, of deep injustice. This book is the first to bring to.
