Synopsis

Suitable for undergraduate, CPE and vocational courses, the Questions and Answers series gives knowledge on how examiners would answer exam questions. Each book contains 50 questions on topics commonly found on exam papers, with emphasis on a logical approach to answering, stressing not only the content but also the form. The books are organized by topic, with the introduction to each chapter outlining the main points of knowledge needed before the questions in that chapter can be answered. This work aims to help students studying the English legal system. It covers the subject in detail and offers helpful revision sections.

From the Back Cover

A good comprehension of the English legal system requires knowledge and skill in a number of disciplines. The system itself is the result of developments in law, economy, politics, sociological change and the theories which feed all these bodies of knowledge. This book assists students of the English legal system in the achievement of a good understanding of the law, its institutions and processes and sets the law and system in a social context, presenting a range of critical views.

 

Being proficient in this subject also means being familiar with contemporary changes and proposed changes, and this new edition has been comprehensively revised and updated to take these into account. 

 

Since the last edition of this book, the changes to the English legal system have been major and manifold. This new 8th edition for 2006 includes important changes made to the law and legal system by the Constitutional Reform Act 2005. The book includes a new chapter on The Jury, and analysis of the Prevention of Terrorism Act 2005, the House of Lords decision in A (and others) v The Secretary of State for the Home Department, the continued development of human rights law, and the Court of Appeal case of R v (on the application of Gillan) v Metropolitan Police Commissioner. The edition also includes an updated version of the court system, the rules of civil procedure, developments in the legal profession, publicly funded law, and European law.
