Format:Paperback
I bought this coupled with another "The English Legal System" book and found this one to outweigh the other one i bought both in content and concise information. It is well written and one of the most readable law books i've seen. I actually enjoy reading some of the chapters in this book - they are accessible and to the point. It clearly has an edge on basic european legal principles and institutions and allows you to get a good grasp of the essential parts of the English legal system. Would highly recommend for any law undergraduate. I would be keeping it throughout my degree for reference.

I bought this book 3 years ago before starting my LLB, and bought it again last week as I hope to study for an LLM next year and wanted to brush up on my legal skills.
The book is very good at getting a prospective law student to think like a lawyer. It sets out very well the areas that a student needs to know about, such as judicial precedent, statutory interpretation and the now unavoidable influence of the European Union and the European Convention on Human Rights on English law.
Two minor criticisms. Firstly, I think the authors do not clarify or explain certain topics enough, especially as this is aimed at students who have not yet studied Law. Secondly, there are countless typing and printing errors in the 6th edition. This can be very distracting and means that perhaps the book does not convey the professionalism you would expect from a legal text.

This book provides a clear well-ordered overview of legal reasoning. You quickly find yourself thinking like a lawyer. The 6th Edition would benefit from further proof-reading - the 'typos' are quite distracting at times.
