'The 60th anniversary celebrations of the modern Commonwealth offer as good an occasion as any for a stock-taking of this unique institution's strengths and weaknesses, achievements and failures. This volume takes a good stab at that task and comes up with some interesting insights [...] Of particular interest to readers of this journal will be an illuminating chapter on the Commonwealth and Law by Peter Slinn.' - The Commonwealth Lawyer: Journal of the Commonwealth Lawyers Association, Vol 19, No 1. April 2010
