"'What About Law?' succeeds where so many legal guidebooks fail ...
[it] skilfully demystifies the law and ably proves its argument. The
law is, indeed, all around us - and this book will whet your appetite to
find out how and why." - Alex Wade, The Times (of the previous edition)
Law is one of the few subjects that the school leaver, choosing a degree
course, will have very little real understanding of. This book comes to
the rescue by clearly setting out what a prospective law student can
expect and why a student should choose to study law.
This new edition is updated to reflect the reality of studying law
today, highlighting changes due to Brexit and reforms to constitutional
law. The book covers the compulsory subjects every law student has to
study: contract, criminal, property and trusts law, and brings them up
to date. With a clear core structure and approach it takes a case from
each of these subjects to illustrate legal issues and methodology. The
writing style is accessible and has the audience - novices to law -
firmly in mind.
What About Law? shows how the study of law can be fun, intellectually
stimulating and challenging. It introduces prospective students to the
legal system, legal reasoning, critical thinking and argument. Written
by a team of experienced teachers, this book should be read by every
student about to embark on the study of law.
