Recenzijas

Adjectives such as 'accessible' and 'readable' spring to mind when describing this book. It lends itself to being dipped into. Authoritative without being didactic, Bromley's is a perennial favourite. * Tony Roe, Law Society Gazette * Well researched...critical analysis of legal principles with the use of critical perspectives * Dr. Maureen Mapp, Birmingham Law School *
