What About Law?: Studying Law at University

Autor Catherine Barnard, Dr Janet O'Sullivan, G J Virgo
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 22 sep 2021
"'What About Law?' succeeds where so many legal guidebooks fail ... [it] skilfully demystifies the law and ably proves its argument. The law is, indeed, all around us - and this book will whet your appetite to find out how and why." - Alex Wade, The Times (of the previous edition)Law is one of the few subjects that the school leaver, choosing a degree course, will have very little real understanding of. This book comes to the rescue by clearly setting out what a prospective law student can expect and why a student should choose to study law.This new edition is updated to reflect the reality of studying law today, highlighting changes due to Brexit and reforms to constitutional law. The book covers the compulsory subjects every law student has to study: contract, criminal, property and trusts law, and brings them up to date. With a clear core structure and approach it takes a case from each of these subjects to illustrate legal issues and methodology. The writing style is accessible and has the audience - novices to law - firmly in mind.What About Law? shows how the study of law can be fun, intellectually stimulating and challenging. It introduces prospective students to the legal system, legal reasoning, critical thinking and argument. Written by a team of experienced teachers, this book should be read by every student about to embark on the study of law.

Recenzii

A simple and user friendly book that 'sells' out the law as it is with all its various rationales. Fit for anyone embarking on a study of law.
The book provides a useful introduction and context to the study of law, which is relevant for those new to the study of law. It is of particular relevance for those in their foundation year who need an introduction to the core modules they will be taking later on and provides them with an underpinning and foundation to their understanding of these areas.
A really useful book for prospective students, giving an overview of a range of important areas.
It is a concise and accessible introduction to law written by experts in each field. In addition to introducing the reader to fundamental legal concepts, each chapter offers an insight into the fascinating peculiarities of the law which will hopefully capture the imagination of potential law students.
'What About Law?' succeeds where so many legal guidebooks fail. The authors give a measured, succinct tour around key legal issues that is both illuminating for the non-lawyer and refreshingly thought-provoking for those whose undergraduate days are long behind them.By anchoring the book in contemporary cases replete with human interest and a tangible effect on our lives, 'What About Law?' skilfully demystifies the law and ably proves its argument. The law is, indeed, all around us - and this book will whet your appetite to find out how and why.
..very well conceived and superbly executed.
The authors of this volume expertly identify and communicate the essence of the subject: its broad scope, covering a wide range of social, political and moral problems; its intellectually satisfying methods of analysis, based on logic, precedent and judgment; and, above all, its entertainment value.I very much hope and expect that the information, and enthusiasm, contained in these pages will encourage potential law students.
The book is a very good pocket-sized informative text for a quick synopsis of what the UK law consists of and how it operates. Useful to gain a very basic foundation knowledge in certain areas i.e., criminal and the legal system.
