The third section stimulates learning through legal problems in the key contexts of the marketplace and employment.The first edition of this book was said to stand out among its competitors as 'a text which not only meets the expectations of lecturers, but also appeals to students'. It was described as an 'accessible, approachable book which deals with the fundamentals of English law succinctly and accurately'. The new edition has been fully updated and expanded to cover changes in the syllabuses of all the examination boards, in particular the sections on police and arrest.
