Experiences of coming to law: An Interview with Bob Brown on the Tasmanian wilderness society as client in theTasmanian Dam Case

This interview-based study offers a unique perspective on the Tasmanian Dam Case by focusing on the experiences of Bob Brown, then head of the Tasmanian Wilderness Society. It reveals the disjuncture between environmental advocacy and legal processes, highlighting how the Society navigated its role as an amicus curiae in a nationally significant case. The analysis contextualizes Brown's recollections, providing insights into the Society's aims, expectations, and post-case reflections. This approach contrasts with traditional legal histories that prioritize judicial texts, instead emphasizing the client's perspective to illustrate the complexities of legalism in environmental disputes.
