Reviews / Votes
An invaluable resource for students seeking to develop a comprehensive understanding of the law and principles underpinning it, Virgo makes difficult material accessible without sacrificing nuance. * Luke Williams, Lecturer, BPP Law School * In my view the most useful textbook available in this subject in the UK; a great mix of clear explanation of basic concepts with really first-rate analysis of more complex questions. * Professor Hilary Biehler, Professor of Public Law, Trinity College Dublin (previous edition) *More details
