Inhaltsangabe

This is the new edition of "Introduction to the English Legal System" by Martin Partington. Written in an engaging style that avoids unnecessary legal jargon, this text offers the A/AS level student, the new law undergraduate and postgraduates taking the CPE, a concise and sound foundation for further and more detailed study. It is designed to stimulate thought on the purposes, the making and practice of law and poses the question: Is the English Legal System fit for purpose in the modern world? Presented in a 4-part structure, the text opens with an examination of the purposes and functions of law and the law-making process, followed by an overview of the institutional framework of the system. The author continues with a discussion of the key issues affecting the main branches of the legal system, looking particularly at criminal justice, and explores the delivery and funding of legal services. The concluding chapter considers future challenges facing the English legal system. In his new role as a Law Commissioner for England and Wales, Martin Partington is ideally placed to offer authoritative yet stimulating commentary on all recent developments within the system - incorporating the key reforms in areas of civil justice, administrative justice, criminal justice, changes to institutional structures and proposals for new organizational bodies within this new edition. The improved structure includes clear part introductions which draw themes and topics together, while the increased use of commentary boxes, diagrams and self-test questions throughout the text encourages a more in-depth analysis of salient points. Revised further reading sections and lists of useful web links for each chapter guide the student towards more focused research using the most current and relevant sources. Designed specifically for those new to the subject, Introduction to the English Legal System is an essential introductory text for students at A level, 1st year undergraduates and those intending to take the CPE.
