Description
Book SynopsisComplete Public Law offers students a carefully blended combination of the subject's concepts, cases, and commentary. A combination which encourages critical thinking, stimulates analysis, and promotes a complete understanding.
Trade ReviewReview from previous edition Superb! A complete collection of sources coupled with straightforward but comprehensive explanations - the 4th edition was the best undergraduate textbook that I have used on the topic. * Nicholas Clapham, Senior Teaching Fellow, University of Surrey *
A perfect text for Level 4 students. I have always been a fan of the Complete series for first and second year core modules as they provide a good variety of content in an accessible manner. Complete Public Law is no different. * Alexander Gilder, Lecturer in Law, Royal Holloway, University of London *
