About the Author

"Lively to the 'read' and packed full of reference materials. White Papers are introduced in a way that is highly innovative." 
Student review, Amazon.co.uk
 
"Darbyshire somehow takes the stuffiness out of the profession... she combines humour... with the cold hard facts... This book is an excellent starting ground for beginners and a good way of revisiting the principles."
Student review, Amazon.co.uk
 
"Darbyshire on the English Legal System is lucidly and accessibly written meaning that undergraduates can use it as a thorough and thought-provoking account of the English Legal System and more experienced lawyers can use it to revisit the important principles."
