Editorial Reviews
Review
From the reviews: `As a subject, contempt of court is protean in content, continually developing, procedurally peculiar and the bane of the media. As such it is ideally suited for a detached, disinterested and scholarly examination. It receives it in full measure from Professor Miller.' P. V. Baker, Law Quarterly Review
q`The case-law is often colourful and Miller selects well from the range of decisions at his disposal. The areas of contempt in the face of the court and contempt by scandalizing the court are especially fertile, but for each, Miller combines a readable account of the cases with a balanced assessment of the existing law and the need for change ... His book is a most welcome and careful contribution to the understanding of the substantive and procedural law of contempt of court.' Cambridge Law Journal
`This is a thoroughly researched book. There is a wealth of United States material included ... The leading Australian cases on contempt are covered ... this book is commended. It is well presented, well researched, well written and enjoyable.' The Australian Law Journal The book has been cited in a number of British and Australian court cases.
`Professor Miller ... consistently roots his detailed discussions in the context of ... principles of a free press and a fair trial ... Practitioners and academics should be grateful to Professor Miller for this excellent analysis.' The Law Quarterly Review
`It combines a number of rare qualities. It is a work of high legal scholarship with acutely observed historical and comparative insights, which is well-written in an extremely accessible style ... Contempt of Court is not only a work of legal scholarship: it is also a practical work of relevance to a wider audience. It should, for example, be required reading for justices' clerks.' The Law Society's Gazette
'careful, comprehensive, and critical ... excellently laid out and subdivided' P.V. Baker, Law Quarterly Review, Vol. 106 Oct '90
'the expanded text provides a reader with a thoughtful, thorough, scholarly yet highly readable discussion of the current law ... his book provides an authoritative text on which to base argument ... In short, this work is indispensable to all those who have to advise on matters of contempt of court' N.V. Lowe, University of Bristol, Civil Justice Quarterly, Oct 1990
`How fortunate we are ... to have Professor Miller, the publication of a second edition of whose Contempt of Court is both welcome and timely ... Written in a commanding yet readable style, it can be commended for its clarity of exposition and comprehensive analysis of each facet of the law ... should prove invaluable to those with an interest in criminal law, media law and civil liberties.' The Irish Jurist --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
