Review of the second edition -"For teachers and students doing law, AS Law goes from strength to strength with this second edition. Its coverage is not just that of legislation and the constitution, interpreting the law, precedent, the courts and legal profession, access to justice and forms of liability and sanction and remedy, but also of the growing impact of EC law on UK law and the role of the European Court of Justice, and Regulations and Directives." - Stuart Hannabuss, Aberdeen Business School.
