Understanding law

"Understanding Law is an introduction to the law in general. It has been written to provide readers with a better understanding of this academic discipline and aims to develop a critical view of the institutions, processes, and materials which comprise the English legal system. However, Understanding Law is not a simple exposition of the English legal system, it also attempts to place legal study within a broader framework of enquiry which tackles the evaluation and explanation of legal decision making at all levels."--BOOK JACKET.
