Review from previous edition As a practical guide to the Convention system, Philip Leach's book has proved itself to be indispensable. The new edition of the book should find an immediate place on the shelves of any practitioner contemplating bringing an application to the Court. * Sir Nicolas Bratza, European Court of Human Rights *
