  Elliott and Quinn's English Legal System is an established and popular textbook with students and lecturers alike. It provides a lively, clear and comprehensive explanation of the legal system of England and Wales, with a topical emphasis on how the law is made and applied in practice. As well as stating what the law is, the authors analyse the principles underpinning it. The law is described in its social context, often with reference to other jurisdictions, together with an outline of the academic debate surrounding contentious areas.

  This book aims to provide a clear and comprehensive explanation of the English Legal System and how it works in practice. It considers the main areas of the English Legal System in practice - such as the sources of law, the legal professions, lay partcipation in the legal system, and legal aid and advice. In doing so it discusses the implications of recent developments in the field, including the new transfer for trial proceedings plea and direction hearings, preparatory hearings and the Criminal Appeals Act 1995 - all dramatic changes rapidly being introduced into the criminal justice system; as well as the implications of Lord Woolf's Civil Justice Review for the future of the civil justice system and the new proposals for legal aid and advice.
