Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Essential reading for anyone embarking on a Law degree Comment: I bought this book 3 years ago before starting my LLB, and bought it again last week as I hope to study for an LLM next year and wanted to brush up on my legal skills. The book is very good at getting a prospective law student to think like a lawyer. It sets out very well the areas that a student needs to know about, such as judicial precedent, statutory interpretation and the now unavoidable influence of the European Union and the European Convention on Human Rights on English law. Two minor criticisms. Firstly, I think the authors do not clarify or explain certain topics enough, especially as this is aimed at students who have not yet studied Law. Secondly, there are countless typing and printing errors in the 6th edition. This can be very distracting and means that perhaps the book does not convey the professionalism you would expect from a legal text. Customer Rating: Summary: Im a Mature Newbie to Law! Comment: I am shortly embarking on a law degree course. I have tried to grasp the rudiments in trying to understand our past & current legal process's via reading books & other data (Acts), but have failed to grasp the precise method/reasoning which is essential to undertake such a course.... up until I bought this book. It has expanded & improved my method for learning which has also given me so much confidence! This book is rather like a manual for a car, so it has proved invaluable for someone like me! It clearly explains everything covered, into an understandable clear format. I know that this book will foremostly be referenced again & again throughout my degree course. Simply a credit to the Authors. Customer Rating: Summary: Not clear enough to be useful Comment: I didn't find this book useful. I think that if you are the average sort of student that wants a bit of help with getting things right, you need a book that talks to you in ordinary language and makes it very clear what you are supposed to be doing. This book didn't do this. It had very convuluted explanations that I found really hard to follow. I'm not the best student in the world but I'm not the worst either but at the end of this book I was none the clearer about what I was supposed to be doing. In all honesty this was a waste of my time reading it. I've asked some of my friends if they thought it was useful as we all had to buy it but I haven't found anyone yet who has used the advice in there and most other students have said that they couldn't get what it was on about either. I mean, make it clear or don't bother. I wish I'd saved my money. Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent for any law student Comment: I bought this coupled with another "The English Legal System" book and found this one to outweigh the other one i bought both in content and concise information. It is well written and one of the most readable law books i've seen. I actually enjoy reading some of the chapters in this book - they are accessible and to the point. It clearly has an edge on basic european legal principles and institutions and allows you to get a good grasp of the essential parts of the English legal system. Would highly recommend for any law undergraduate. I would be keeping it throughout my degree for reference. Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent introduction Comment: This book provides a clear well-ordered overview of legal reasoning. You quickly find yourself thinking like a lawyer. The 6th Edition would benefit from further proof-reading - the 'typos' are quite distracting at times.
