Summary:
This book tells the story of the role played by Army legal officers in Australia and Australia's expeditionary operations from the time of the Boar War until 2000. The book explains how Army legal officers have contributed to the profession of arms and to the development of military law. It is a modest assessment of the role of lawyers in the Army. In this regard, Australian Regular Army legal officer Lieutenant Colonel Lachlan Mead provides chapter 4 which has the pithy and insightful title, 'Not exactly heroic but still moderately useful: Army legal work during the Second World War 1939-1945'. Justice in Arms is a product of the Australian Army Legal Corps, and is directed at those currently serving in the Australian Army Legal Corps. Having said that, it is an interesting read for anyone wishing to understand some of the characters and the development of military law in Australia.
