Reviews of the 1st edition:

'I found it easy, informative, and even engrossing to read...the content succeeds masterfully in giving useful, accurate explanations without sacrificing the necessary succinctness.' - Hamish Armour

'I would give considerable encouragement to students to purchase this book as a mechanism for allowing them to access key concepts more easily.' - John Marston, Principal Lecturer, Department of Law, De Montfort University, UK

'...McLeod's book is a visual feast. It is comprehensive, accessible and is written in a font that is easy and quick to read and is a very welcome addition to this crowded market. Crucially, it is easy to understand.' - Chris Ashford, The Law Teacher
