Legal Systems & Skills, 6th Edition

One of the most thorough and engagingly written legal systems / skills books out there. I particularly appreciate the emphasis on practical, human and employability skills in this work, at a depth that is lacking in other similar works. * Dr. Louise Loder, University of Exeter *
This book offers a good mix of content in relation to both the legal system and legal skills. This is a notable point of difference to some texts which only cover one aspect or the other. * Jenny Watkins, University of Worcester *
Legal Systems & Skills is very well written and easy to understand. * Sukhwinder Chhokar, Coventry University *
