ABRAHAM, HENRY J. Freedom and the Court. 4th edn. New York, University Press, 1982. Pp. xvi + 443. ISBN 0 19 502960 7.

This book is a study of Civil Rights and Liberties under the U. S. Constitution as interpreted

by the Supreme Court. It is easily the best and most readable introduction to what is a very complex legal area. The success of the book can be judged from the fact that since it was first published in 1967, it has run through four editions. Chapter III deals with the perplexing problem for any federation of the applicability of the Federal Bill of Rights to the States. Chapter IV traces the development of the requirements of 'due process of law'. Chapter V deals with Freedom of Expression, and Chapter VI with the free exercise of religion and the separation of Church and State. Chapter VII deals with 'Equal Protection' and problems of racial and sexual discrimination. The book includes a useful Bibliographic Note (pp. 403-40) and sets out the amendments that comprise the Bill of Rights, in an Appendix. Good indexes.

The thirtieth series of the Hamlyn lectures. Anderson argues that the 'arbiter' in balancing law and liberty must be justice. He accepts John Rawls' notion that justice includes the maximization of basic liberties for everyone. Along the way he advocates the value of a bill of rights, and the rule of law in improving race relations.

An excellent compendium of case excerpts, statutes and reports together with commentary. The authors' notes also contain valuable references. The book covers most of the traditional areas of civil liberties in the U.K. — police powers, public order, freedom of expression (censorship, contempt of court, national security), freedom of religion. As well, the book covers privacy, racial discrimination, and prisoners' rights. One important aspect of the book is the attention it pays to the impact of the European Convention on Human Rights and the question of a domestic bill for U.K.

Defines 'citizen's rights' as what is left over after police, government instrumentalities, local councils and various professional hierarchies have exhausted their range of options. Main beneficiaries of our civil law are people who do not need protection and the main victims are Aborigines, children, unskilled migrants, prisoners, women and mental patients. Argues that there is a strong case for the passage of Human Rights and Freedom of Information Bills.

CAMPBELL, ENID & WHITMORE, HARRY. Freedom in Australia. 2nd edn. Sydney, Sydney University Press, 1973. Pp. xi + 488. ISBN 0 424 05220 2.

This is still the best general work on Civil Liberties and the law in Australia. In twenty-four chapters the authors give a readable critique of the major civil liberties issues: Police Powers, Demonstrations, Freedom of Movement, Obscenity and Censorship, Contempt, Freedom of Information, Freedom of Belief, and a discussion of the viability of a Constitutional Bill of Rights. Unfortunately, the discussions are now somewhat dated.

DORSEN, NORMAN. Frontiers of Civil Liberties. New York, Pantheon Books, 1968. Pp. xxvi + 420.

DORSEN, NORMAN et al. Political Rights in the United States. 4th edn. 2 vols. Boston, Little, Brown, 1976. Pp xxxi 1695 (Volume I). LC 75 22786.

Probably the most comprehensive collection of legal materials on U.S. constitutional rights. Volume I deals with freedom of speech, assembly, association and the amendments dealing with the rights to vote and participate in government. Volume II considers 'equality before the law' and the complex law on discrimination. The notes and commentaries that accompany the cases provide an exhaustive guide to U.S. scholarships on Constituitional Rights.

This is an incisive study of many difficult areas of constitutional theory that impinge on the problem of constitutional entrenchment of rights — the separation of powers and the relationship between judges and legislators. Chapters VI to IX deal with Civil Rights. Marshall brings to bear a profound knowledge of practice and close analytical skill. The result is a penetrating analysis of Equality, Freedom of Speech and Assembly and Civil Disobedience. The book takes account of U.S. and U.K. developments and considers these in the context of legal, moral and political philosophy.

STREET, H. Freedom, the Individual and the Law. 5th edn. Harmondsworth, Penguin, 1982. Pp. 352. ISBN 0 1402 0646 9.

This is one of the best introductions to civil rights in U. K. and has considerable relevance to the position in Australia. Chapters 3-7 deal with the various aspects of freedom of expression. Chapters 1 and 2 deal with police powers and freedom of assembly. Other rights singled out for discussion are freedom of religion, freedom of movement. There are also chapters on discrimination, freedom to work and protection against private power. Street's study is essentially a legal study but is pitched at a level that makes it readily understandable for the non-lawyer.

The study represents a readable mix of the descriptive and the critical.
