Product Details

Product Description

Review

`The authors have conceived an expansive yet straightforward, a detailed yet highly readable, examination of the vagaries of legal method both in theory and in practice.' New Law Journal

Product Description

Among the many new skills law students have to acquire, using legal method and solving legal problems are possibly the most important. Yet all too often these legal skills are ignored, and it is assumed that students will acquire them as they progress through their course. The authors of Learning Legal Rules bring together the theory, structure, and practice of legal reasoning in a readily accessible style. The book explains how to uncover and exploit the mysteries of legal materials. This is then used to draw the student into the techniques of legal analysis and argument and the operation of precedent and statutory interpretation. Throughout the book the authors also examine the permeating influence of EC Law and the legal method employed by Continental legal systems. The fifth edition has been extensively rewritten and reorganized to ensure that it continues to fit the needs of today's law students. It contains more guidance on interpreting statutes, an extended introductory chapter 1 on "What is Law?", and new material on the Human Rights Act. It has also been given a new clear text design and layout that incorporates new chapter headings and paragraph headings; summaries of the key points of each chapter; boxed questions at the end of each chapter; more diagrams, especially in the chapters on reasoning, to aid visual learners; and a main table of contents. It also contains a new Companion Website containing key questions and guidance on how to answer them, diagrams, useful legal abbreviations and annotated web links.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent introduction to English Legal System, Sep 27 2009
By Armando-Malwani "Seeker" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Learning Legal Rules: A Student's Guide to Legal Method and Reasoning (Paperback)
This is an excellent introduction to the english legal system. It also happens to be the primary text for the University of London's LLB programs class on common law reasoning and institutions. It is highly readable and provides an excellent overview of the legal method and gets you to start thinking like a lawyer. I highly recommend it to any budding lawyer or anyone who is just curious about the law.
