Studying Law

Studying Law introduces students to the fundamental legal skills that they will need to successfully study the subject, such as case analysis, legislative interpretation, problem solving and essay writing, and to the core Law subjects themselves and the distinctions between them.

The text clearly aims to strike an appropriate balance between ensuring that it provides a comprehensive overview whilst at the same time remaining an appropriate length to encourage readability, whether as a text in its entirety or to dip in and out of as mentioned above.' - Jill Dickinson, Senior Lecturer in Law, Sheffield Hallam University, UK This is a first class book for those who need an introduction to law but who do not necessarily want to become lawyers. The sections dealing with legal writing skills, legal method and how to approach legal essay questions are particularly welcome as many students new to law seem to find these difficult areas. All students embarking upon the law section of their courses will find this book invaluable - Student on Amazon This is such a helpful book. It contains very practical advice for the new law student in a number of areas, covering 'skills based' topics such as essay writing and answering legal problem questions, as well as touching on some basic areas of English Legal System, without which such advice would be too general and not properly contextualised. The advice on common problems with written English is sadly all too necessary, but clear and robust, sensibly focusing on the most frequently encountered difficulties rather than attempting to be too comprehensive.The authors' gentle sense of humour is never far away and quietly contributes to the easy readability of the book - C James, Amazon
