Recenzje

'Legal education has a Sisyphean task ahead of it: should it cling to the values of liberal education or override them with technocratic vocationalism? This collection provides an eclectic range of answers that will continue to stimulate discussion for years to come. All lawyers within and outwith the academy should read it.' John Flood, Griffith University, Australia
