"For students of the law in England and Wales, ‘The English Legal System’ can rightly be called the classic and definitive work on this vast and far-reaching subject. Quite rightly, it is the reference book to which law students generally turn for an explication of the law that is reliable and factual, yet which encourages creativity of thought and inspires further inquiry", Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor of Richmond Green Chambers
