Abstract

"The judges of our superior courts, for all their authority, are retiring individuals. Except when caught in the limelight of major criminal trials, they carry on in decent obscurity their essential work of settling disputes. If, in justifying their decisions, they make new law, they do not proclaim it to be such, but leaves it to those who come after them, advocates and judges, to tease out the new rules and apply them to fresh circumstances..." - Foreword
