More About the Author
Product Description
Review
Praise for previous editions; Great care is taken by Barnett to try and painstakingly explain the difficult concepts of constitutional law in language which, although not simple, is straightforward...the author is obviously well-informed about her subject, very quotable for examination question purposes. The Law Teacher, Richard Clements, University of the West of England. 'This is a vast topic but this book assists the student quite considerably to make it understandable and, in many cases, quite enjoyable.' The Legal Executive Journal.
Product Description
The fifth edition of Hilaire Barnett's "Constitutional Administrative Law" is published at a time of continuing constitutional development and reform. Membership of the European Union has expanded from fifteen to twenty-five states. House of Lords reform is ongoing, now with plans to abolish the office of Lord Chancellor, establish a new Supreme Court and introduce a new system of judicial appointments. Other significant areas of reform discussed in the book include the police and police powers, asylum and immigration law. "Constitutional Administrative Law" provides a clear exposition of the major features of the UK's constitution and a comprehensive summary of recent developments. The book has been consciously designed to meet the needs of students undertaking a constitutional and administrative law course, whether full or part time, and provides comprehensive coverage of the syllabus drawn from a wide range of sources.

Format:Paperback
I am writting an appeal on an employment law issue and wanted to refresh my understanding of direct effect and the way you can enforce rights in EC law that are not available in UK law. This book was very clear and precise. It was well structured so I found the part I wanted to know straight away.
It was well written, no waffle, had all the revelant cases and was a pleasure to read. It was easy to understand and left me wondering why I had disliked Admin Law during my undergrad days.
Worth every single penny.

Public (or constitutional) law is a core subject and this book is great to get you through the exam with a decent score. Very readable and clearly presented,it gives you the historical and practical perspectives along with recent developments. It starts from the basics and builds up on it. A very useful book, covering all the aspects of the conventionl public law course, and more.
Just one fault:the binding is not the best so it comes apart pretty easily, mine is in pieces.

This is an easily read. It is a clear concise and well set out book. I find using this book in conjunction with lectures leads to a better understanding of the subject.
