5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent introduction to English Legal System,
By Armando-Malwani "Seeker" (MN, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Learning Legal Rules: A Student's Guide to Legal Method and Reasoning (Paperback)
This is an excellent introduction to the english legal system. It also happens to be the primary text for the University of London's LLB programs class on common law reasoning and institutions. It is highly readable and provides an excellent overview of the legal method and gets you to start thinking like a lawyer. I highly recommend it to any budding lawyer or anyone who is just curious about the law.
5.0 out of 5 stars
