"'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.
The essays in this volume are dedicated to Gareth Jones, the
retiring Downing Professor of English Law at the University of
Cambridge. His contribution to legal scholarship has been immense,
particularly in the fields of legal history, the law of trusts,
charities law and, most famously, the law of restitution. The
publication of the first edition of the Law of Restitution, which
he co-authored with Lord Goff, stimulated a renaissance in the
study of a subject which had previously lain dormant. The effect of
its publication on English legal scholarship has been profound and
enduring. In these essays, written by a group of the world's
leading restitution scholars, the opportunity is taken to conduct a
fresh appraisal of the development of the subject - to look, in
other words, at the past, present, and future of the law of
restitution. Contributors: John Baker, Peter Birks, Justice Finn,
Roy Goode, Ewan McKendrick, Justice McLachlin, Sir Peter Millett,
Lord Nicholls of Birkenhead, Richard Nolan, Janet O'Sullivan,
Graham Virgo (as well as shorter contributions from invited
commentators).
