Book Review: An Introduction to Law(Law in Context)
Summary: 3 Stars

This text covers British Law, not U.S.A. law. It appears fine for British Law, however American readers will be surprised when they recieve the book. The publisher is Butterworths, not Northwestern University Press as stated in the description.

Summary of An Introduction to Law (Law in Context)

An Introduction to Law has become established as one of the leading student introductions to the subject. In addition to providing a clear account of basic legal concepts, the underlying theme of this fifth edition continues to be the importance of regarding law and the legal system as living institutions within society, and of appreciating how rules and legal structures both reflect and influence changes in social, economic and political life. With its thorough, readable treatment of practical issues in law within a relevant social context, An Introduction to Law is aimed at all new students of law, including A level students, those on HND/C Business Studies or foundation social science courses, undergraduate law students and those studying law as part of a mixed degree.
