Good overview of the basic law
This book was on my reading list as an introducory text for non-lawyers taking an Msc in Management of Intellectual Property. It covers the basic aspects of English Law in a clear and succinct manner. Significant cases are highlighted in the text so they can easily be picked out. The book explains the law but there is not much information on why judges ruled as they did. I guess it will make a good revision guide, giving you the facts and the relevant case to quote, but I do not feel it has given me a particularly deep understanding. Still it was easy to read, and the next books on the reading list are considerably meatier volumes, so it was nice not to be thrown in the deep end.
