Details

The English & Welsh Legal System is an ideal choice for all students looking for a modern, contemporary and innovative textbook on this core area of the law, as its clear explanations, carefully developed learning tools and focus on modern case law help bring the subject to life.

This fully updated new edition includes significantly revised coverage of statutory interpretation; a clarified and consolidated chapter on legal professionals; more on new pathways to qualification in the legal profession, and on diversity and well-being; and a new chapter on legal skills. The English & Welsh Legal System will also help students to translate knowledge successfully to an assessment situation (whether examination, tutorial preparation or coursework) through the acquisition and development of key skills such as problem solving and application, critical reasoning and evaluation, and research and referencing. The accompanying digital learning resources have also been updated, including additional video and audio content.

The Routledge Spotlights series brings a modern, contemporary approach to the core law curriculum, which will help students:

To move beyond an understanding of the law
To refine and develop the key skills of problem-solving, evaluation and critical reasoning, which are essential to assessment success
To discover sources and suggestions for taking your study further

By focusing on recent case law and real-world examples, Routledge Spotlights will help you shed light on the law, understand how it operates in practice, and gain a unique appreciation of the contemporary context of the subject.
