Format:Paperback
Whilst studying for my A levels, this book proved invaluable in my revision and definatley helped me get an A grade in my A level Law exam. The reason why the book is so good is that Elliot & Quinn have broken down the English legal System in an easy to understand method which explains key essentials in a basic format initially .then progressing to an easy to understand but more detailed version of the basics which have been grasped in the initial chapters. Constant examples and references to cases prove invaluable in understanding legal theory and application of facts. The best part however is the way Elliot & Quinn have mentioned how elements of the English Legal System can be reformed. This book is not just a book you read during your A levels and put aside afterwards, it is one you will be constantly using as a reference source. I have just started a degree in Law and I am still using this book.

Format:Paperback
This is an excellent example of how academic textbooks should be. The text is engaging, the format is inviting, and the content is neither to explicit nor too superficial.
The authors split the book up to address each topic in the English legal system as individual entities. At the same time, all cross refereces are clearly indicated and explained meaning that as you read through the book the overall pictures is also being built up.
As a future Law student I found the book particualarly useful, becasue even having no current knowledge of the legal system, I was fully able to understand all the concept from the way they were explained.
An excellent book, that should be included in the library of anyone who has even a passing interest in the legal system, and especially of those studying Law at 6th Form.

I studied A level Law about 5 years ago, using this as my only text book. It is very well written, clear and concise (and most importantly, interesting!) and it is updated regularly to include nearly everything you may be examined upon for your A level Law. My class was proof that it works- of the 15 of us
who were studying, 10 of us obtained an A grade, 3 a B grade and 2 a C. Obviously we all worked hard and revised, but it was this book that made revision so much easier. I just wish that Elliot and Quinn wrote all Law books!
