'An excellent reference for aspiring and current law students alike.' Dr Alexander Williams, Durham University 'The ideal book for students to read as soon as they arrive at university, if not before. The key points are well illustrated and the chapters are short and punchy. Tough truths, top tips and surprising advice that may turn your teachers' advice on its head.' Caroline Strevens, Head of the School of Law, University of Portsmouth
