About this title

Review

Review of the hardback: '[A] significant asset is the experience and thoroughness of this book's editors, recognised HRA experts Helen Fenwick, Gavin Phillipson and Roger Masterman, each of whom also contributes at least one chapter. ... Each chapter can stand alone as a comprehensive, remarkably current take on HRA case law and the judicial reasoning behind it. ... this book was created to facilitate discussion between academics studying this unique and controversial statute. However, this book also offers such a comprehensive look at the HRA that it could be of value to law students who wish to learn more about the HRA or issues surrounding the United Kingdom's constitution.' Westlaw UK

Review of the hardback: 'The value of the book for the practitioner lies in the opportunity to deepen one's thinking about, and understanding of, Convention law. It deserves and demands to be read slowly, savoured and considered carefully and critically. ... [It] will be of great value to anyone who thinks that the title 'human rights lawyer' is more than a synonym for 'one who is paranoid about the State'. ... recommended without reservation or hesitation.'
