Description: Drawing heavily on over 80 in-depth interviews he conducted with Australia's most senior appellate judges from 1997 to 2000, Pierce (U. of Dayton) examines the emergence of a more activist, more controversial, and more politicized High Court coinciding roughly with the tenure of Anthony Mason as Chief Justice from 1987 to 1995.
