In a dramatic innovation, this video "stages" the Hart-Fuller debate exactly as a debate — as if it were an episode of a televised interview. ANU College of Law scholars Professor Desmond Manderson FASSA, FAAL, FRSC and Associate Professor Joshua Neoh, representing Fuller and Hart respectively, set out their disagreements, using only the words written by the two great legal thinkers; and then answer questions from the live studio audience.

For the first time, the cut and thrust of the Hart-Fuller Debate can be fully appreciated. For the first time, these remarkable essays come to life, turning dry words into insight, passion and even wit.
