Law: The Basics

Law: the Basics offers an engaging introduction to one of the most complex areas of modern life. The book introduces both the main components of the legal system - including judges, juries and law-makers - and key areas of law - contract, civil negligence, and criminal law - to provide the uninitiated with an ideal introduction to law. Key questions posed by the second edition include: How are laws made?How do judges decide cases?What is the role of the EU in the legal system and what is its future?How are Human Rights currently protected and why is a change to the law being proposed?What are your rights and duties under contract law?What is a crime and what are criminal defences?Throughout the book, a wide range of contemporary cases are examined to relate key legal concepts to familiar examples and real world situations.
