Product Description

Review
"...books like these are such a godsend. This is an excellent text." Lex Magazine, 2005

Product Description
Among the many new skills law students have to acquire, using legal method and solving legal problems are possibly the most important. Yet all too often these legal skills are ignored, and it is assumed that students will acquire them as they progress through their course. Learning Legal Rules brings together the theory, structure, and practice of legal reasoning in a readily accessible style. The book explains how to uncover and exploit the mysteries of legal materials. This is then used to draw the student into the techniques of legal analysis and argument and the operation of precedent and statutory interpretation. Throughout the book the authors also examine the importance of human rights and the permeating influence of EC. Online Resource Centre Lecturer resources Test bank - a ready-made electronic testing resource which can be customised to your teaching needs feedback Seminar problems - additional seminar exercises to support teaching VLE Content Student resources Gudiance on answering legal problems - working examples of how a lawyer has to approach the material available Guidance on essay writing - supplements the materials available in chapters 2 and 3 Self-test questions - enables students to test their knowledge of issues covered in the book Web links - links to other useful websites Guidance notes on statutory interpretation and case law analysis - an exercise combining elements of case law analysis, reading statutes and statutory interpretation

5.0 out of 5 stars An essential for law students everywhere., 26 Sep 2001
By A Customer
Proffesser Holland is a lecturer at the University of the West of England and this book is an excellent aid to the course he teaches. It is a clear, concise and informative piece of legal literature that no student should be without. It covers the ins and outs of the legal system of the country and helps the reader to think like a lawyer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for any law student, 11 May 2007
By H. Talbot "Digitalparadox" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent introduction, 13 Sep 2006
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.
