The basic tenet of Common Law is revising past judgments. As Malayan Law Journal celebrates 80 years of journeying with the Malaysian Legal fraternity, this publication is a collection of some of the most interesting articles and judgments reported in the Journal over the years.

The book is divided into 2 parts. Part 1 is a collection of articles published in the Journal over the years, highlighting how judicial decisions have contributed to groundbreaking changes on the Malaysian legal landscape. Each article is followed by a brief summary of the main case or cases referred to in the article concerned. Part 2 is a collection of judgments of some of the high profile cases that made the headlines, both locally and internationally.

The collection of cases in this book provides readers with a retrospective look at the people and circumstances that form the basis of the judgments, which in turn have influenced Malaysian jurisprudence. It is an engaging read not only for legal practitioners, the judiciary, academics and law students, but also to those interested to have an insight on fascinating cases that have touched our lives over time.
