Customer Reviews

A definitive must have book
Whilst studying for my A levels, this book proved invaluable in my revision and definatley helped me get an A grade in my A level Law exam. The reason why the book is so good is that Elliot & Quinn have broken down the English legal System in an easy to understand method which explains key essentials in a basic format initially .then progressing to an easy to understand but more detailed version of the basics which have been grasped in the initial chapters. Constant examples and references to cases prove invaluable in understanding legal theory and application of facts. The best part however is the way Elliot & Quinn have mentioned how elements of the English Legal System can be reformed. This book is not just a book you read during your A levels and put aside afterwards, it is one you will be constantly using as a reference source. I have just started a degree in Law and I am still using this book.

Should be compulsory for every law student!
I have seen many of the other 'revision' guides but all they are is a shorter version of a textbook. This is the ONLY book that both summarises the law (in a clear and accessible way) and tells you what to do with it. Things that made no sense at all after lectures and seminars and reading the set text suddenly seem straightforward, plus I now know how to use it in my coursework and exams. The diagrams are fantastic and really help me to visualise and remember the law. I certainly couldn't manage without this book and I've already bought the others on the strength of it. Can't recommend it highly enough!

Brilliant Introduction to Law for Anyone
This is an excellent example of how academic textbooks should be. The text is engaging, the format is inviting, and the content is neither to explicit nor too superficial.

The authors split the book up to address each topic in the English legal system as individual entities. At the same time, all cross refereces are clearly indicated and explained meaning that as you read through the book the overall pictures is also being built up.

As a future Law student I found the book particualarly useful, becasue even having no current knowledge of the legal system, I was fully able to understand all the concept from the way they were explained.

An excellent book, that should be included in the library of anyone who has even a passing interest in the legal system, and especially of those studying Law at 6th Form.
