About this title

Review:

Praise for first edition:

'This is an exciting addition to current legal texts. All new law students and readers with a general interest in modern legal issues will find it well worth reading. Slapper and Kelly are both well seasoned writers, who produce a subtle blend of knowledge and teaching methods in English Law ... I feel that these two tutors have written the best introduction to the subject yet produced. It is certainly required reading for A-Level and undergraduate studies because it combines a reasonable amount of detail with useful summaries at the end of each chapter ... I would not expect just my student to have read this landmark in legal texts - I would also demand it as the best possible grounding any potential lawyer will obtain before he or she delves into the greater detail in their chosen texts. Thank you, Mr Slapper and Mr Kelly!' - Law Tutors Partnership, Newsletter No 2

'Gary Slapper and David Kelly continue their successful collaboration with the publication of English Law ... Throughout the work, there is critical analysis and evaluation, enabling the reader to become familiar with the meaning of legal concepts and principles while, at the same time, gaining an insight into the complexities that often surround them...' - The Law Teacher
