Inhaltsangabe

The essays in this volume reflect the exciting new directions in whichlegal history in the settler colonies of the British Empire hasdeveloped. The contributors show how local life and culture in selectedsettlements influenced, and was influenced by, the ideology of the ruleof law that accompanied the British colonial project. Exploring themesof legal translation, local understandings, judicial biography, and"law at the boundaries," they examine the legal cultures ofdominions in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand to provide a contextualand comparative account of the "incomplete implementation of theBritish constitution" in these colonies.
