The "adequacy of their attention": gender-bias & the introductory law course in Australian law schools

Includes bibliographical references (leaves 220-229) Considers to what extent feminist theoretical and critical perspectives have been incorporated into law. A law course or law textbook that uncritically presents legal doctrines, or representations of men's and women's social roles, risks adopting and perpetuating the unstated point-of-view of a particular cultural group in society. Argues for a legal education that has an open self-consciousness of the culturally specific and inevitably partial point-of-view of the law and, consequently, a conscious recognition of the unavoidable point-of-view of legal education.
