Abstract

This article discusses postmodernist legal theory in the context of Australian company law. Postmodernism is often presented as the antithesis of the desirable, the ethical, the functional or the reflective. Andrews discusses criticisms levelled at Australian company law journals which many accuse of being theory laden. He argues that reading company law journals is the best way to teach ethical and reflective company law. The article demonstrates law is reflective of the society which creates it.
