This approach distinguishes the Gleeson Court from the realist based jurisprudence of the Mason Court, which articulated the relevance of legal theory and tended to make statements of wide legal principle. The approach of the Gleeson Court also diverges from Dixonian legalism, which the analysis presented in this thesis will establish is a theoretical form of legalism." --p. 4. / http://proxy.library.adelaide.edu.au/login?url= http://library.adelaide.edu.au/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?BBID=1297203 / Thesis (Ph.D.) -- University of Adelaide, Law School, 2007
