This sixth edition of Federal Constitutional Law: A Contemporary View continues the book’s tradition of revealing the difficult discipline of Australian federal constitutional law in an analytical, accessible and engaging way. The authors, Professor Sarah Joseph and Professor Melissa Castan examine the latest developments and likely future directions of constitutional law, and supplement essential primary materials with their narrative-style commentary, in a comprehensive, well organised and reader focussed presentation.

• straightforward explanations and analysis;

• reorganisation of the chapters on the separation of judicial power and implied freedoms, in light of the volume of recent case law;
