This book has been written to provide an integrated teaching tool for Legal Method, English Legal System and Introduction to Law courses. The aim of the book is to stimulate interest in the study of law. In order to achieve this the author has sought to create a sourcebook of materials and commentary, along with questions suitable for tutorials and essays, covering both the core doctrinal material, as well as theoretical and empirical perspectives. A great deal of materials including case extracts and secondary readings from a variety of backgrounds are included with the commentary to make up this substantial book.
