Review
"Essential reading for anyone embarking on the study of law or on a course that includes an element of law."New Law Journal

"The first few weeks of a law degree are a daunting time. The law library has endless rows of books, journals and statute books which seem to make little, if any, sense. What a student really needs at this time (and sometimes throughout their degree!) is a helping hand - and this text provides just that. Williams: Learning the Law is a handy-sized quick reference text which provides the answer to many questions a student may have. This provides much needed support at times when a student's frustration may be close to boiling-point!" Student Law Journal
