Synopsis

This highly-respected textbook is regularly updated to provide complete coverage of the Public Law syllabus and is accompanied by a range of interactive resources designed to support teaching and learning. Mapped to the common course outline, it equips students with an understanding of the constitution’s past, present and future by analysing and illustrating the political and socio-historical contexts which have shaped the major rules and principles of public law, as well as on-going constitutional reform.

About this title

About the Author:

Hilaire Barnett, BA, LLM, is Reader in Law, Queen Mary College, University of London.

Review:

Praise for previous editions; Great care is taken by Barnett to try and painstakingly explain the difficult concepts of constitutional law in language which, although not simple, is straightforward...the author is obviously well-informed about her subject, very quotable for examination question purposes. The Law Teacher, Richard Clements, University of the West of England. 'This is a vast topic but this book assists the student quite considerably to make it understandable and, in many cases, quite enjoyable.' The Legal Executive Journal.
