Product Description

As a critical analysis of the law-making process, this book has no equal. For more than two decades it has filled a gap in the requirements of law students and others taking introductory courses on the legal system. It deals with every aspect of the law-making process: the preparation of legislation; its passage through Parliament; statutory interpretation; binding precedent; how precedent works; law reporting; the nature of the judicial role; European Union law; and the process of law reform. It presents a large number of original texts from a variety of sources - cases, official reports, articles, books, speeches and empirical research studies - laced with the author's informed commentary and reflections on the subject. This book is a mine of information dealing with both the broad sweep of the subject and with all its detailed ramifications.

This book was invaluable to my pre undergraduate course. Very informative, easy to use and understand and if used in conjunction with CASES AND MATERIALS ON THE ENGLISH LEGAL SYSTEM, no other books will be needed....GREAT!!!!

A book worth its investment!
