Reviews


"..an excellent format that is easy to follow. This is primarily due to the use of symbols throughout the text. They are clearly set out in a key at the start and due to their consistent use, they bring clarity to the explanation of the case law without adding further text."


Dr Eleanor Harries, Lecturer in Law, Bristol Law School, UWE
