personally i found this book to be very helpful, the method of analysing law problem questions and discuss questions are exceptional. however the book does repeat itself and sometimes goes in to to much detail about irrelevant information. Would higly recommend this book to law students who are beginnng their law studies.

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. ... Read More:

This text was recommended by my course leader for Contract Law. It was recommended on the advise to use it as a starting-point for further reading, and I'm glad I was given that advice. The book lacks stimulation. It is by no means critical. And to some degree, its content and reasoning on points of law is unreliable.

... I've been given a take home test that if I don't pass I will be off the course. I bought a series of books in the summer leading up to the start of the course, highly rated ones I'll have you know. All those books are completely useless. But not this one! (Actually that's a bit harsh on the other books, they're good for contextualising my learning.) Anyway, back to the point; if this book was a pint it would be a John Smiths i.e NO NONSENSE.

Anything you want to know it tells you, and it doesn't faff about like the other books. If you want to do well on the LLB you cannot depend on the law express series, nevertheless it's style goes straight for the jugular of law, so you're not sitting there trying to cut the wheat from the chaff for hours. ...

I bought this, like many, as it was on my reading list at the start of my first year. I found it fairly easy to digest and a great book to use alongside other sources, such as Westlaw. It's references are easy to find and the opening section of the book explains clearly how to use the book to its best design.
In all, a good reference book for assignments and revision, well laid out in clear to understand terminology with good accompanying segments for greater guidence on contract law.

This book was recommended as pre-course reading for the LLB. I'd already got the Glanville Williams one, which would have been fine if I was studying law in 1850, but this is SO much more useful in every respect. It's a manual of 'how to do everything' with plenty of substance and academic weight but written so that anyone can make sense of it.

I am a law student and find the Legal System one of the hardest modules on my course. This book is BRILLIANT! I have tried loads of books on this subject and this is the easiest to read. Would highly recommend!
