The sixth edition of this two part compilation title has been thoroughly updated to take into account all the syllabus changes occurring at the beginning of 2002. It is clearly written, with each subject broken down into manageable sections with diagrams, where appropriate, to illustrate complex matters. It contains sample questions which follow the Institute's examination style, together with guidance on how they should be tackled in an exam situation. In addition to satisfying the requirements of the Institute's syllabus, this book will help the student to understand how the law works in its practical context. Frequent references are made to significant cases, which are highlighted in the text and fully explained. The book also contains examples of statutes and law reports to enable students to gain familiarity with primary sources of law.

Tests for legal vocabulary.

Why do some rules have the status of law while others do not? Is law simply a matter of rules anyway? What is justice? Is there a duty to obey a law even if it is unjust? Should the law concern itself with the activities of consenting adults in private? This fully-updated new edition of Legal Theory asks questions such as these and explains some of the answers which legal theorists have given from Ancient Greece to the present day. Written in a very readable style, this book makes intrinsically difficult material accessible and interesting.
