[it] skilfully demystifies the law and ably proves its argument. The law is, indeed, all around us - and this book will whet your appetite to find out how and why.” –  Alex Wade, The Times (of the previous edition)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLaw is one of the few subjects that the school leaver, choosing a degree course, will have very little real understanding of. This book comes to the rescue by clearly setting out what a prospective law student can expect and why a student should choose to study law.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis new edition is updated to reflect the reality of studying law today, highlighting changes due to Brexit and reforms to constitutional law. The book covers the compulsory subjects every law student has to study: contract, criminal, property and trusts law, and brings them up to date. With a clear core structure and approach it takes a case from each of these subjects to illustrate legal issues and methodology. The writing style is accessible and has the audience – novices to law – firmly in mind.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eWhat About Law?\u003c\/i\u003e shows how the study of law can be fun, intellectually stimulating and challenging. It introduces prospective students to the legal system, legal reasoning, critical thinking and argument. Written by a team of experienced teachers, this book should be read by every student about to embark on the study of law.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56302027702645,"sku":"9781509950102","price":18.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781509950102_e37a9c08-36e1-46f8-990a-b90ba953fdbd.jpg?v=1786021971"},{"product_id":"9781509943548","title":"Deakin and Morris’ Labour Law","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eDeakin and Morris’ Labour Law\u003c\/i\u003e, a work cited as authoritative in the higher appellate courts of several jurisdictions, provides a comprehensive analysis of current British labour law which explains the role of different legal and extra-legal sources in its evolution, including collective bargaining, international labour standards, and human rights.

The current system is broken but what is the answer? Using material from a large-scale empirical study, including a survey of over 200 practitioners, the book examines the problems facing the system. It then considers how these problems are addressed in other jurisdictions both in the UK and in other countries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book then examines what can be done. It suggests that locating labour law disputes within a contract-tort-human rights frame takes insufficient account of the fundamental emotional and behavioural factors that are in play. The book therefore argues that much can be learnt from the resolution of family law disputes, whether it be in relation to how a relationship that has ended can be satisfactorily concluded, or how a relationship with ongoing ties can be managed going forwards. Utilising this theoretical reframing, the book proposes a blueprint for the future of employment dispute resolution.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is for policy makers, practitioners and academics looking for a rigorous empirical and theoretical analysis of what has gone wrong with employment dispute resolution and what can be done about it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56368955031925,"sku":"9781509990535","price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781509990535_88ec7719-bb52-4320-8c45-866f00ebf4a9.jpg?v=1792424683"},{"product_id":"european-union-law-1","title":"European Union Law","description":"Written by experts, this innovative textbook offers students a relevant, contextual account of EU law.
