Review
'[This] book is well laid out,reasonably priced and factually accessible.' Todd Laurence, Borden Grammar School. 'AS Level Law by Mitchell and Dadhania is a very detailed text that could be used with either of the main examining boards (AQA or ORC). Having been published in 2003, it is up-to-date, and acknowledges recent changes, such as reforms relating to the Lord Chancellor. The contents page is well laid out, making topics and sub-topics easy to find. Tables of case and legislation follow; both are clear and easy to use...Each chapter is very detailed and explains the topic well, in user friendly language...The book is excellently supported by extension materials on the Internet, including tests and answers, which can easily be updated by the authors. This is a good book, which I would willingly recommend to students. I particularly feel my adult students would find this text a very good aid to their study.' The Law Teacher, Volume 38. No.1. Carol Edwards, Thomas Rotherham College
