Judicial Activism, Legalism and Magna Carta

Speaking to an event at the Constitution Centre of Western Australia, former Justice of the Supreme Court of Western Australia, the Hon Nicholas Hasluck AM, has produced a thought provoking paper which starts with the Magna Carta and leads into a discussion about legalism and judicial activism. A very interesting read in examining what the rule of law stands for in Australia today.

Read the paper here.
