Funded Activity Summary

The Courtroom, Lawyers and the Press: Negotiating Justice in the Age of the Public Sphere. The origins of modern Australian systems of justice are derived from institutions and cultures developed in Britain, and this project will contribute a deeper understanding of their nature and provenance. It will illuminate the roots of the modern trial as an instrument of governance that involves largely symbolic, rather than substantive, popular participation, and trace its equally significant role as a form of popular entertainment. Besides their obvious relevance to questions about active citizenship in modern Australia, scholarly studies of these issues will contribute in a major way to Australia's international reputation for producing high-quality scholarly contributions to British studies.
