Synopsis
This work:
presents a contextual overview of the English legal system; provides
the groundwork for a critical understanding of legal institutions,
processes and materials; places the study of law within a broader
framework of inquiry focusing on the evaluation and explanation of
legal decision making at all levels; examines the civil justice
system after Woolf; looks at the impact of the Human Rights Act;
analyses the globalisation of law; sets a distinctive manifesto for
legal education that is in line with the ACLEC emphasis on
\\\"understanding\\\" (rather than passive role learning) as the
key to the initial stage of legal education.
Wide ranging and
thought provoking without being beyond the range of first-year
students. - Lex Magazine
An absolutely
outstanding book for any student sitting a law degree of any sort. An
ideal starting guide for general legal ideas, such as, statutes and
statutory instruments, the progression of law and the importance of
public and EC law in the 21 century. Excellent. A great book to for
any budding lawyer.
