Review from previous edition There is no textbook on the market that approaches the subject like this one does. This is an excellent book and will be welcomed by lecturers of public law who find it hard to enthuse students about this subject. The author has not only paid attention to the content but also to the teacher and student, and this is much appreciated. * Nirmala Pillay, Reader in Law, Leeds Beckett University *
This is a really student-friendly book which makes public law appear manageable and understandable. * Josie Kemeys, Lecturer in Law, University of Worcester *
There is something novel about this textbook. The chapters are refreshing in terms of content and style. I really like all the references to current affairs. These are excellent and make the chapters really stand out. * Annalisa Meloni, Senior Lecturer in Law, University of East London *
The book is pitched to the right level for students who are new to public law. It is simpler and easier to read than many of the existing textbooks without compromising on content. * Sylvie Bacquet, Senior Lecturer in Law, University of Westminster *
This textbook provides a good foundation, but also goes into more detail on key issues. It does not shy away from critical consideration of knotty problems. * Thomas E Webb, Lecturer in Law, Lancaster University *
