Details

Exploring Constitutional and Administrative Law is the only academic text that addresses head-on some of the issues many students have with the subject, by using engaging features that are both accessible and rigorous. Contemporary case studies engage the reader by highlighting the legal relevance of each topic, before the black letter law, surrounding academic debate and wider political and economic context are introduced. This text is eminently suitable for all undergraduate courses on Constitutional and Administrative Law.

Features

 

  • Case studies open each chapter, outlining what issues the chapter is going to address and ask questions. This highlights how the subject plays a role in every day life.
  • Key debateproblem area and topical issue boxes in each chapter will raise issues that have yet to be addressed by case law/legislation, highlight current problems with the law and introduce the academic arguments surrounding them.
  • Annotated lists of further reading of relevant scholarly/academic work broken down by topic area
