Reviews / Votes
'Unlocking the English Legal System [is] absolutely first class... [and] essential reading.'Andrew O'Hagan, Lecturer, Nottingham Trent University, UK
'It is a ... book which covers such a wide range of topics - not many standard legal system texts cover the legal profession, funding and sentencing. I was also very impressed with the quality of writing, selection of materials and presentation. A great deal of effort has clearly been made in order to provide an interesting narrative to the development of specific areas of law, and excellent use is made of relevant authority throughout.... This book successfully punches above its weight.'
Jeremy Marshall, School of Law and Social Justice, University of Liverpool
'It is so simple and easy to understand. I am indeed very grateful for this title and the others in the Unlocking series.'
Mahentee Boolakee, LLB Law Student, University of London
