Customer Reviews

Essential reading! Don't do Law without this book!
I've used this book as the text book for my A level course. It was recommended to me by teachers and passed students and I can see why. I actually decided to finally buy it as I used the AS level version of the book in my first year which was excellent. This book has all the relevant cases you will need and 100's more. You can find them easily as there is a seperate index for the cases. It also highlights many topical issues. It provides both short answer questions and essay questions at the end of each chapter, these are an excellent way of revising.

Excellent book! And an essential for anyone doing A level Law.

This book has helped me (and still is helping me) through my A2 Law course and I don't know where I would be without it. All the information follows on in a logical order so flicking from front to back to cover one topic. The information is clearly explained. There are loads of questions to try out and some of them are taken from AQA past exam papers, giving you plenty of exam practise.

However, although for the most part the case descriptions are good some are a little lacking and don't provide enough fact. The case lists are located at the beginning of each unit section which makes finding a case near impossible if you're not 100% which unit it comes from. Also, the book can be long winded in places and it's not very good for quickly looking up facts- this is certainly a textbook and not a revision guide. You'll probably find you need to buy an additional revision based book to read for exam purposes.

I would definately recommend this book for any A2 Law student.

this book is written by a law examiner for AQA and so covers the essentials however there are numerous mistakes in spelling, grammer and just plain using the wrong words!!
