Synopsis
This book aims to provide a complete reference work on law for those starting a course at undergraduate or conversion level. The book considers such fundamental issues as the true definition of the law; the crucial distinctions between criminal, civil and public law; the role of institutions and the various officers of the law; the relations between law, justice and power; and the limits to the law's remit. More specifically, the book includes evaluations of statutory interpretation, case law and precendent, sketches of the procedures of the criminal, civil and administrative justice systems, and an account of the historical development of the legal profession. Finally the authors assess how progress is made - how laws are reformed and how law itself is a vehicle for reform.
