Author: Sir Own Dixon
Hard cover with dust jacket - good condition. Signed copy.
Jesting Pilate: And Other Papers and Addresses by Sir Owen Dixon is a seminal collection of essays and speeches that encapsulate the legal philosophy and intellectual rigor of one of Australia's most esteemed jurists. First published in 1965, the anthology offers insights into Dixon's steadfast commitment to legalism, the rule of law, and judicial independence. The third edition, edited by Susan Crennan and William Gummow, enriches the original compilation by reorganizing the content for greater accessibility and adding previously unpublished addresses, as well as commentaries from notable legal figures like Sir Ninian Stephen and James Merralls. These additions provide valuable context to Dixon's work and underscore his enduring influence on Australian constitutional law. The collection not only reflects Dixon's profound legal acumen but also serves as a vital resource for understanding the evolution of legal thought in Australia.
