{"product_id":"born-in-hope-shurlee-swain-9781742232928","title":"Born in Hope: The Early Years of the Family Court of Australia","description":"The Family Law Act of 1975 and the establishment of the Family Court of Australia in the following year aimed to revolutionize the settlement of marital disputes. But the court quickly became the focus of hostility, and many saw it as a failed experiment. Drawing on interviews with judges, lawyers, and counselors, this book challenges that notion and captures the complexity of the early years as the Family Court grappled with increasing media criticism and acts of violence never before seen in the Australian legal system. This intriguing oral history provides a deeper understanding of the legal institution that arguably impacts a larger proportion of Australians than any other.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Shurlee Swain\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1742232922\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781742232928\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of New South Wales Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Shurlee Swain","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48453906333951,"sku":"9781742232928","price":56.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_030c9666-80fc-4598-9b4a-def810679310.jpg?v=1777302958","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/born-in-hope-shurlee-swain-9781742232928","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
