This is the first comprehensive Australian resource for approaching law as something more than a system of rules. This edited collection includes contributions from an impressive array of Australian scholars, each of whom specialises in thinking about law from a different perspective.

Whether viewing law as a tool to legitimise oppression (Marxism), as a mechanism to provide the most efficient outcomes (law and economics), as an artefact of particular historical events and forces (legal history), as a method to impose and undo gender hierarchies (Queer and feminist legal theory), as the means to explain - and perhaps ameliorate - the effects of the "Age of Discovery" (decolonialisation studies), and much more, these theories ask us to think more deeply about law and what it means.
