Media Reviews
Review from previous edition Each chapter is well thought out with an eye on the issues which students find hard to follow. While accessible, it does not compromise on content or analysis. * Dr Esther McGuinness, Law Lecturer, University of Ulster *
Covers all the essential concepts that degree level students need to get to grips with, written in a clear way that does not overly complicate the subject matter * Jane Rees, Law Lecturer, University of the West of England *
