Wide ranging and thought provoking without being beyond the range of first-year students. Lex Magazine.
--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Product Description
This work: presents a contextual overview of the English legal system; provides the groundwork for a critical understanding of legal institutions, processes and materials; places the study of law within a broader framework of inquiry focusing on the evaluation and explanation of legal decision making at all levels; examines the civil justice system after Woolf; looks at the impact of the Human Rights Act; analyses the globalisation of law; sets a distinctive manifesto for legal education that is in line with the ACLEC emphasis on "understanding" (rather than passive role learning) as the key to the initial stage of legal education.

Format:Paperback
What can you say? An absolutely outstanding book for any student sitting a law degree of any sort. Easy enough for students taking only extra law modules, but deep enough for people sitting law degrees. An ideal starting guide for general legal ideas, such as, statutes and statutory instruments, the progression of law and the importance of public and EC law in the 21 century. Excellent. A great book to for any budding lawyer.

Colleagues in law believe this to be a great summary and aid to understanding many areas of law, and on explanation it definately does seem to be.
However, for non-specialists looking to broaden the knowledge of their own specialist area by being aware of some of the workings or the law, it does seem rather weak, assuming a fair amount of knowledge, not least many technical terms.
For those in law, it is ideal, otherwise this probably isn't for you without some previous background experience.

This is the best example of a first year contract law book available. Written by two proffesors from a top law university this guide is ideal for all first year law students. A guide to condition, formation of contracts and privies is the most useful information available to students, all set out in a logical, easy to understand manner. Excellent.
