Publisher Description:
The writers’ aim is to make A Level study of Law an enjoyable and stimulating experience. Therefore the book does not just describe the law, it discusses its practical workings, the theories on which it is based and the problems to which it gives rise. The study of law should also be exciting.
Law is not just about rules
it is about argument, and throughout the text students are encouraged to consider the arguments that surround the controversial issues in the law.
