[Chaundra · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not quite as good as Glanville William's text Learning the Law in terms of sheer usefulness, but it is a very comprehensive look at the existing English legal system and the forces for change acting upon it. Perhaps the only major downfall (aside from too many side-tracks) is that the author's political bent (liberal) comes out quite clearly. On the one hand, this is helpful to know so that the reader can switch on the appropriate bias filter, but on the other hand it still makes me wonder what is being left out.

Brilliant book for my first year of my law degree.
