Synopsis

In this new edition of "An Introduction to Law", now established as one of the leading student introductions, the emphasis continues to be on understanding law and the legal system as living institutions within society. At the same time, the coverage of the legal system is combined with a clear account of legal concepts. The fourth edition incorporates much new material, in particular on contract, tort, dispute-resolution and land-use, and the coverage of the European dimension of English law has been considerably expanded. "An Introduction to Law" is designed for all new students of law, including A-Level students, undergraduate law students and for those studying law as part of a mixed degree.

A propos du livre

Revue de presse

'This book is an excellent and definitive introduction to law as a subject of study. It is comprehensive, accessible and thorough. The book easily stands out from its competitors in providing outstanding analysis of key concepts and ideas in law. It will [provide] the reader with an extremely clear, comprehensive and useful introduction to some of the most important issues faced by students of law.' Sarah Beresford, Lancaster University

'In keeping with previous editions, this edition is a well written and student accessible text, that addresses the main areas expected from an 'introduction to' law textbook, but with a depth of analysis and range of authority covered that far exceeds its title as an 'introduction to law' textbook. The author explains and illustrates clearly and effectively the extent to which various factors (societal, historical, and economic) have influenced and continue to mould the creation, development and operation of legal rules, procedures, and institutions in the English legal system. Examples and cases referred to are up to date ... and bring home the topicality and more importantly the relevance of the material covered to everyday life ... It provides a real insight into what law and its operation is really about. A must-read for all students, whether studying law or not as a degree programme.' Sarah Willis, University of Northampton
