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
