'Unlocking the English Legal System [is] absolutely first class... [and] essential reading.'
'It is a ... book which covers such a wide range of topics - not many standard legal system texts cover the legal profession, funding and sentencing. I was also very impressed with the quality of writing, selection of materials and presentation. A great deal of effort has clearly been made in order to provide an interesting narrative to the development of specific areas of law, and excellent use is made of relevant authority throughout.... This book successfully punches above its weight.'
'It is so simple and easy to understand. I am indeed very grateful for this title and the others in the Unlocking series.'
