Customer Reviews

An ideal book for first year undergraduates
What can you say? An absolutely outstanding book for any student sitting a law degree of any sort. Easy enough for students taking only extra law modules, but deep enough for people sitting law degrees. An ideal starting guide for general legal ideas, such as, statutes and statutory instruments, the progression of law and the importance of public and EC law in the 21 century. Excellent. A great book to for any budding lawyer.
