Constitutional Law, Administrative Law, and Human Rights: A Critical Introduction

There are text books that give you what you need to know to pass black letter law exams and there are those that make you think about the subject and put it in its social and political context. This is one of the latter. It's written in long grown up sentences for people who may be tired of terse, pithy bullet point styles. But it is generally clear and never less than interesting. I would read other texts as well and probably cases and materials, though there is an online resource that provides further details of selected judgements. I read the book for the intellectual interest; I read law at university many years ago, but still find it fascinating. My guess would be that if your main aim is to do as little as possible to get your degree, then this may not be the book for you, for reasons other reviewers have given. But if you want to see the law in its wider context, which I think you should, then this may be the book for you.

I tried to source this book locally but could only find at extortionate prices!!! Being a student and only working part time jobs means that I seek any discount I can get my hands on. This book for the price is a great bargain and in my opinion Loveland gives simpler and easier to understand explanations than O.Hood Phillips. This book was a great help as a source material for British cases as well as Common and Civil law subjects!!Definitely recommend

recommend this book

Particularly useful on the content around Human Rights - a good supplement for anyone studying Public Law. Easy to read.
