Ron has been with the Journal since the inaugural issue in March 1993, which started life as the Trade Practices Law Journal<\/em> after its muse, the Trade Practices Act 1974<\/em> (Cth). The Journal was renamed in 2011 to its current one, in keeping with the Act\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s change of name to the Competition and Consumer Act 2011<\/em> (Cth). Just as its namesake legislation has evolved, so too has the journal, which has become a record of the developments in jurisprudence, policy and practice that the last 25 years has engendered.<\/p>\n

Since that very first issue, Ron has been instrumental in developing the Journal into the publication that it is today \u00e2\u20ac\u201c to its core of articles, the Journal has grown to one that includes editorials, case notes, succinct reports discussing and analysing legislative and judicial developments, as well as commentary relating to the national regulatory bodies. While concentrating on Australian law, the Journal also reports on the trade practices jurisprudence in other regions of the world. There is even the odd cartoon.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153This growth, and the variety of the forms it took, came about through an aspiration which has been consistent over 25 years \u00e2\u20ac\u201c to be innovative.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Other aims have been to seek only to publish work which covered current issues, had a practical inclination and which was not only well written, but eminently readable. In short, to publish a law journal which lawyers, judges, academics, students and government officials interested in competition and consumer law, would want<\/em> to read.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153There was in 1993, and all the more now, a \u00e2\u20ac\u02dctrade practices scene\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 and the Journal has been its forum.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153The Journal\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s aim is to continue to publish writings that inform, probe, stimulate and provoke. We hope to remain a publication which is a cornerstone of competition and consumer law practice and jurisprudence, one which readers look forward<\/em> to reading, and we will strive to achieve that aim. Nothing less is good enough.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
