Looking at the UK and Scotland, Public Law Essentials is an invaluable guide for law students throughout the United Kingdom and for practising lawyers needing a quick reference. From the monarchy to the UK and Scottish parliaments, and from judicial review to the parliamentary ombudsman, this fully updated second edition gives you all the coverage of public law that you need for your course, your exams and your practice. In particular, the Scots law sections have been updated in light of the Smith Commission and the Scotland Bill 2015–16. Handy reference sections include tables of cases, statues and conventions, and summaries of essential facts and cases.

This is an engaging, clearly written and appropriately focussed book with excellent use of both statute and key relevant cases. Law teachers often worry about students relying on introductory texts and not, for example, reading cases for themselves. They need not worry if they see a student with this book in their hands as it reinforces the need for appropriate use of statutes and cases… I cannot for the life of me think why a student taking constitutional law for the first time would not invest the relatively small amount of energy in reading this book through several times during their module and especially in the run up to the exam.
