The purpose of this book is to help students to understand the sources of law and how to use them. It provides a rich collection of legal source material, together with a wide range of exercises and activities, carefully designed to develop the skills of analysis and critical evaluation needed for success in examinations.

Understanding Law is written with the needs of A-level and undergraduate law students particularly in mind, but will be invaluable for anybody embarking upon the study of law for the first time.
