This second edition of the Law Handbook has been completely revised and updated and includes all relevant changes to the law. It is a guide to all the key terms at A and AS level law and equivalent level courses such as Legal Secretaries and Part 1 of ILEX. It is also suitable for Business Law components of AVCE Business Studies. Non-law students will find it invaluable as a reference guide to mystifying legal expressions. Each entry begins with a clear definition and is followed by further explanation, and where appropriate, by specific examples and/or cases. All entries are carefully cross-referenced.
