Title: The Disreputable Firm..The Inside Story of Slater & Gordon.
Description: First Edition; Med. 8vo; pp. x, 324; 40 pages of b/w. photographs, notes, bibliography, index, bound in original blue cloth, title lettered in silver on spine, dustjacket, very good copy. Carlton South; Melbourne University Press; 1998. The book explores the origins and the philosophy of the firm, from the experiences of its founders in the depression of the 1890s, through two world wars and the Great Depression, and into the Cold War period of the 1950's when the firm was pilloried as Slater's Communist Kindergarten. It also shows how more recently, the expanding firm has pioneered such controversial legal innovations as class actions and no win, no fee', both intended to make the justice system available to all.
