Reader Reviews:
Good book (0/0 people found this helpful)
This book is good, especially the chapters on the criminal justice system. It is written in a clear, concise and accessible manner without being basic. Recommended for a solid foundation of the English legal system.
Extraordinarily well-written (2/4 people found this helpful)
The book is in my opinion one of the best examples of why English legal literature stands in a class of its own. Its dense syntactical structure befits the dense semantical concepts it attempts to convey. Equally, it presents a persuasive, coherent thesis of the necessity for a pluralistic analysis of the English legal structure.
Good background but dry (0/1 people found this helpful)
This book provides a good background to the law and therefore might be good for someone who is about to start a law degree / conversion course. It details how the court system works, how the constitution affects the law etc
For anyone who isn't, however, this is fairly tedious stuff.
If you're itching to get started and can't wait for the summer holidays to be over then definitely grab a copy. Otherwise I'd wait till the lectures start.
