Shey
5.0 out of 5 stars Concise and Powerful dissemination of information
Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2021

I thoroughly enjoyed the structure of this book. The authors begin with the substantive legal principles of the English legal system and leads through to a comprehensive discourse of legal methods and the importance of good linguistic skills. In my humble opinion, this is a keeper for any law library as it expounds very clearly and thoroughly what the Law is, what it is about, and imparts great information on how to attend to cases from a student's perspective. Powerful guidance, indeed.

I liked reading this book as it provides a good overview of several topics of the English legal system. Very interesting is the last third of the book that covers topics like proper writing and answering coursework or examination questions as a law student.

5.0 out of 5 stars Reads like a good novel
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 23, 2015

I had paychologically prepared myself for some tedious reading however the book is logically structured and reads like a good novel. I haven't put it down yet...
The topics discussed are relevant and the content is up to date and accurate. The more I read this book the more confident I am about my knowledge of English law and how it receives/incorporates EU rules and regulations. I am
not an academic student and don't intend to make law my profession but I picked up this book because I wanted to be able to hold [informed] conversations with my lawyer friends and I am happy with the knowledge I gained so far. What i learned about the topic hitherto is that laws and their interpretation/application is for a large part dependent on one's ability to gather pertinent facts, structure them and draw a meaningful [and convincing] correlation between those and the text/articles of law. I happily recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn about the mechanics of English law and the techniques of how to apply it or critique it.
Couple suggestions:
1.ebook version would be great
2.warning to the reader that they might need a good dictionary

When buying a book by an honorary professor you would expect them to spell his name correctly on the back cover 🤣 if the advice is as good as the proof reading the missus is going to make a killing as a solicitor. Will update the review once she has read the book, the mistake made us laugh far too much not to give it 5 stars prematurely.
