Characterisation involves the making of a values-based judgment by reference to ascribed meaning, found facts and expressed principle or rule. The article takes examples from the fiduciary relationship, the notion of unconscionability in commerce, the doctrine of penalties and the nature of insurance to examine the way in which characterisation, as a process of construction in the broad sense, is founded in context and is structured by reference to an established and ordered legal method<\/p>\n Gender Equality among Barristers before the High Court\u00c2\u00a0<\/a>\u00e2\u20ac\u201c<\/strong><\/em>\u00c2\u00a0Daniel Reynolds and George Williams<\/p>\n In Australia, the Bar has long prided itself on its meritocracy. At the heart of the idea is the proposition that, regardless of gender, race or background, anyone should be able to succeed at the Bar provided that their work is of a high enough standard. This article presents a statistical analysis of appearances by barristers before the High Court of Australia to show that this ideal is not being realised. The data shows that female barristers are systematically under-briefed for matters before the nation\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s highest court, and that even when women are briefed, they are disproportionately less likely to be given a speaking part.<\/p>\n BOOKS RECEIVED<\/a> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Editor: Angelina Gomez <\/strong><\/p>\n BOOK REVIEWS<\/a> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Editor: Angelina Gomez <\/strong><\/p>\n For the PDF\u00c2\u00a0version of the table of contents, click here: ALJ Vol 91 No 6 Contents<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n
