Public Law is an ideal choice for all students looking for a
comprehensive yet accessible textbook on this area of law, as its clear
writing style, accessible tone, and focus on modern case law help bring
the subject to life.
The book covers the key institutions, concepts, and legal rules of the
United Kingdom's constitutional system, with the chapters arranged
around four subjects: the foundations of the constitutional system;
Constitutional Law; Administrative Law; and human rights. The book's
central theme is that of state power, and the relationship between the
state and the citizen.
Co-authored by Michael Doherty and Noel McGuirk, the third edition has
been revised to reflect recent key developments in Public Law. It now
extensively explores, in addition to several other key chapter updates,
the unfolding impact of Brexit, the 2019 General Election, changes in
devolution across England, Scotland, and Wales, and the 2020 Coronavirus
Act. Clearly written and easy to use, Public Law enables students to
fully engage with the topic and gain a profound understanding of this
fundamental, exciting area.
The Routledge Spotlights series brings a modern, contemporary approach
to the core law curriculum, which will help students:
- To move beyond an understanding of the law.
- To refine and develop the key skills of problem-solving, evaluation
and critical reasoning, which are essential to assessment success.
- To discover sources and suggestions for taking your study further.
By focusing on recent case law and real-world examples, Routledge
Spotlights will help you shed light on the law, understand how it
operates in practice, and gain a unique appreciation of the contemporary
context of the subject.
