The second edition of this well-received work describes and discusses the principles of law and practice which guide Australian appellate courts at all levels. In addition, it deals with the jurisdiction and powers of appellate courts, and what alternative remedies are available if there is no right of appeal. Appellate courts also have original jurisdiction, and this is likewise considered. Civil appeals and criminal appeals are dealt with separately because, although there are commonalities between them, criminal appeals in particular give rise to different considerations. A chapter is also included on appeals from military tribunals, which have their own peculiarities. A separate chapter is devoted to the new Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia, and also to the Federal Court. In addition to the state, territory and federal courts at the intermediate level, the High Court is also discussed in a separate chapter. The work also includes a brief outline of the history of appellate courts. Although there are chapters designed to assist lawyers and judges who are new to appellate work and who are called upon to argue or to decide an appeal for the first time, the work is principally intended as a useful reference book for all lawyers involved in appellate work. - Publisher's website.
