The Law Machine

The majority of ordinary citizens have no idea of how the legal system works. Based on the LWT documentary series, The Law Machine aims to introduce the reader to and demystify the procedures, customs and controversial areas of the legal system. Written by two highly experienced journalists with legal back-grounds, it discusses how the system evolved, what happens if you find yourself entangled in its machinery, how lawyers work and - taking its lead from the television series which stages the most realistic trial ever seen on British television - vividly describes the trial process. At every stage the authors have asked the question: is it as good as we have a right to expect? This crucial approach adds zest to this readable - and unique - introduction to an enormous and fascinating subject. Slight crease to corner back cover.( We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. etc.).
