Review
Praise for previous editions; Great care is taken by Barnett to try and painstakingly explain the difficult concepts of constitutional law in language which, although not simple, is straightforward...the author is obviously well-informed about her subject, very quotable for examination question purposes. The Law Teacher, Richard Clements, University of the West of England. 'This is a vast topic but this book assists the student quite considerably to make it understandable and, in many cases, quite enjoyable.' The Legal Executive Journal.

Fantastic Book that is Wonderfully Written!
Great Text that has just been updated with all the recent influential changes. The book is also supported by free updates, which are available via the web, making it good value for money, as well as a necessity. The text is clear and easy to understand making it a joy to read. It includes most of the relevant material one needs to pursue a course in Public Law; Hilaire Barnett (the author) is also a lecturer of mine... Great Lady... Great Book... This book by many people's standards is hard to fault.

A great buy
Public (or constitutional) law is a core subject and this book is great to get you through the exam with a decent score. Very readable and clearly presented,it gives you the historical and practical perspectives along with recent developments. It starts from the basics and builds up on it. A very useful book, covering all the aspects of the conventionl public law course, and more.
Just one fault:the binding is not the best so it comes apart pretty easily, mine is in pieces.

Excellent one-stop guide to C&A law
A very readable and informative text book. This provides a great deal of information on the subject in a straightforward, easy to follow manner. One of the best C&A books around for the new law student.
