Reviews / Votes
"If you are a student of law at whatever level, Slapper & Kelly's new edition of `The English Legal System' is an essential work of reference, which can only make your studies easier...Much thought has gone into creating a structure for the book that makes it convenient to refer to and easy to use - one of the most easily accessible legal texts we have yet encountered. As if all this weren't enough, there is a companion website where you can access skill-led student resources online- a great support unit for the 21st century learner!...All in all, what you have here is a resource-base in a book. Small wonder, the `The English Legal System' has always been -- and continues to be in its 10th edition -- a favourite with learners and lecturers alike and an extremely useful reference for practitioners where law governs life for all of us." - Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor of Richmond Green ChambersMore details
