st Lucinda Lecture “Of lions and squeaking mice in anxious times”


By Emeritus Professor H P Lee


From time to time most countries will encounter threats to the security of the state polity, ranging from a wartime situation to the contemporary terror threats.
Extraordinary legislation is often resorted to as a means of protecting public safety. Such legislation inevitably draws the courts into the spotlight. Perilous times present the courts with a dilemma. This lecture seeks to canvass that dilemma and the lessons that can be learnt from past judicial experience in Australia and some selected jurisdictions.

Venue: Monash University Law Chambers, 555 Lonsdale St, Melbourne
