Systems of law; Law & society; Legal system: general

Slapper and Kelly’s The English Legal System explains and critically assesses what law is, how it is made and applied, and how it affects the general public.

This latest edition has not only been restructured and updated, but extensively refocused, to provide a reliable analysis of the contemporary legal system in the sociopolitical uncertainty of a post-Brexit, post-Covid UK.

It retains the key learning features of:

useful chapter summaries which act as a good checkpoint for students; ‘food for thought’ questions at the end of each chapter to prompt critical thinking and reflection; sources for further reading and suggested websites at the end of each chapter to point students towards further learning pathways; and a fully updated online resource for students and instructors.

Trusted by generations of academics and students, this authoritative textbook is a permanent fixture in this ever-evolving subject.
