Details

Slapper and Kelly’s The English Legal System explains and critically assesses what law is, how it is made and applied, and how it affects the general public.

This latest edition has not only been restructured and updated, but extensively refocused, to provide a reliable analysis of the contemporary legal system in the socio/political uncertainty of a post-Brexit, post-Covid UK.

It retains the key learning features of:

useful chapter summaries which act as a good check point for students
‘food for thought’ questions at the end of each chapter to prompt critical thinking and reflection
sources for further reading and suggested websites at the end of each chapter to point students towards further learning pathways, and
a fully updated online resource for students and instructors

The accompanying Instructor and Student Resources website provides free digital materials integrated with the 20th edition. It contains an extensive practical guide for students to refine legal skills such as mooting, negotiating, and more; a fully updated glossary with interactive flashcards to test vocabulary; and further reading, including extra contextual material on the European Union. Downloadable instructor resources are also available to save valuable time when preparing lessons.

Trusted by generations of academics and students, this authoritative textbook is a permanent fixture in this ever-evolving subject.
