Customer Reviews

A good starting point
This book is a good starting point to anybody about to embark on a legal education. It was recommended to me for my LLB Law degree course but I think it would be more suited to a student studying for their A - Levels. The book does include questions and answers, and therefore allows you to test yourself as you progress through the book. It also indroduces a variety of legal sources to work from.

Got the content, but.....
I bought this book at the beginning of my LLB Law course as it is required for an element of my subject. The book itself is ok, but I would only recommend it for people with little or no legal knowledge at all. Anyone with legal knowledge, this book is not worth purchasing at all. It's content is a beginners guide to the subject, and quite frankly is a waste of time! So, for all new to law undergraduates, this book is worth buying, for everyone else, this book should be avoided if possible. Thats my opinion anyway

Refreshing and Innovative!
What a zingy approach to studying the law! After such success and wonderment it is suprising that nothing of the sort has been written before. With a refreshing approach to learning the basics as well as becoming an expert, this is a must for anyone wanting to further their knowledge about law and the legal system.
