The fifth edition of Hilaire Barnett's "Constitutional Administrative Law" is published at a time of continuing constitutional development and reform.

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.

From the Back Cover

Barnett's Constitutional and Administrative Law is now firmly established as one of the leading undergraduate textbooks on Public law. This new edition 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, and the office of Lord Chancellor has been reformed. The Constitutional Reform Act 2005 establishes a new Supreme Court and introduces a new system of judicial appointments. Other significant areas of reform discussed include the police and police powers, asylum and immigration law and the law relating to state security.

Written in a clear and understandable style, this new edition remains comprehensive as well as comprehensible, providing a thorough exposition of the major features of the United Kingdom's constitution and recent developments. Consciously designed to meet the needs of students undertaking a constitutional and administrative law course, whether full or part time, it offers ample coverage of the syllabus drawn from a wide range of sources.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to understand, precise and well structured 9 April 2008
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book if you want a 1st in the subject 4 Dec 2012
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Very well written and comprehensive. Extremely easy to navigate. Substantial.
It served me extremely well and is brilliant for both day to day studying and revision.
I used it together with Elliott's Public law and Alder's Constitutional and Admin Law.
The book is good for both Constitutional, Admin and other public laws.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great buy 23 Dec 2006
Format:Paperback
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.
