Congratulations to Tim McCormack and Narelle Morris on the publication of their edited volume Law Reports of the Australian War Crimes Trials 1945-1951

Congratulations to Tim McCormack and Narelle Morris on the publication of their edited volume Law Reports of the Australian War Crimes Trials 1945-1951 (Brill). This is the first volume of a new 5-volume reference work which rectifies a lamentable gap in access to rich war crimes trial jurisprudence from the post-World War II era. This first volume includes reports for each of the 46 trials conducted in Morotai, Wewak, Labuan and Darwin in 1945-46. Given the lack of written reasons for judgment, these law reports draw extensively on the trial transcripts, including a description of prosecution and defence arguments, relevant legal issues, judgments and sentences. Congratulations on this important endeavour, Tim and Narelle!
