The booklet is written in Tee's spoken English, not academic English, it is written as it is spoken, so if you're looking for that amazingly grammatically correct academic law book, THIS IS NOT IT..... :) Have you ever wanted to know about the Irish legal system? but every time you picked up any textbooks or even articles you were completely put off by the terminology?. Maybe it left you feeling that you would have to learn a whole new language just to be able to read it, let alone understand it. Well look no further; my books are compiled so that all of the terminology, rules and principles are explained in plain English, leaving you to enjoy learning about the law in Ireland without the headache of terminology and confounding principles. Welcome to my series of law textbooks for beginners. When you first start reading law, the terminology (wording), doctrines (procedural steps, or tests) or principles (rules) can be overwhelming. It is a great starter book for those who are new to the subject of Irish law. This book covers topics such as the Irish court system, organs of state, legislative processes, lawyers, the Common law, legislation, the European Union, human rights, legal theory, constitutional law and jurisprudence.It covers topics such as:The Irish Legal SystemWhat is a legal systemWhat is a crimeThe distinction between criminal and civil casesThe burden and standard of proofClassification of LawsSubstantive LawProcedural Law Civil LawCriminal lawNatural LawCanon lawThe Rule of LawCommon law compared to Civil lawCommon LawCivil LawPre Common Law in IrelandBrehon LawSources of law in IrelandEuropean Community LawThe Doctrine of SupremacyThe European Community TreatiesRegulationsDirectivesThe EC institutionsThe Organs of the ECThe Irish ConstitutionFundamental personal rights guaranteed under the Irish constitutionCommon LawActs of the Oireachtas or LegislationPrimary LegislationDelegated Secondary legislationAssociated Statutory InstrumentsThe Rule of LawThe Separation of PowersThe Attorney GeneralThe Organs of StateThe PresidentThe ExecutiveThe LegislativeThe JudiciaryJudicial IndependenceThe legislative process in IrelandStatutory InterpretationAids to InterpretationIntrinsic aidsExtrinsic aidsInterpretation ActsThe Law of EquityThe Maxims of EquityEquitable RemediesAn Introduction to the Irish Court SystemThe District Court in IrelandThe Small Claims CourtThe Circuit Court in IrelandThe High Court in IrelandStructure of the High Court of IrelandThe Court of Appeal in IrelandAppeals in criminal proceedingsAppealing decisions of the Court of AppealThe Supreme Court in IrelandPersonnel involved in the court roomThe Differences between a solicitor and a barrister in Irish lawSuing a Solicitor or BarristerThe lighter side of the lawMultiple Choice QuestionsGlossary of Terms
About MsTee
Welcome, I would like to say hi and introduce my crime and legal booklets. These books are written for those wishing to gain an insight; a very basic introduction to an array of topics or headings within the areas covered in each book or booklet.
They are written in extended note form, like the lecture notes and power-point presentations a student would receive in a lecture, therefore they take the shape of compiled and extended definitions and examples, rather than a textbook, and briefly but precisely cover the core of each heading, unlike academic or university books, these booklets are more akin to notes compiled, then all of the covered principles and maxims are defined separately with examples and plain English translation with real world scenarios by the author before being published.
I say this to ensure that everyone who buys or reads my books knows they are not academic, but merely informational at best.
These Introductory books and booklets are just that. Introductory or layman's, this means you have either, very little legal terminology or you would just like to learn the principles and maxims for your own pleasure, I introduce several legal areas of law, criminology and criminal psychology. There are many areas which are not covered in my books, and the reasons are either;
- I do not have not enough experience that specific area to discuss the principle or maxim, or;
- Some main areas break into so many smaller ones it would be impossible to cover them all in an introductory book. Doctors differ and patients die is an old saying in Ireland, when different people have different ideas on how something should be done, so I have covered the fundamentals and then some.
I have now retired from teaching, having spent many years researching crime, criminal behaviour, legal theories, principles and maxims, it was time to hang up the hat, but I do keep abreast of new legal rules, legislation and law in general, and aim to update books as they happen.
