Review from previous edition This book is excellent, and it is difficult to think of any other textbook authored by academics with greater expertise. * Vicky Thirlaway, Senior Lecturer in Law, Sheffield Hallam University * It is the best public law textbook on the market and academics with a variety of approaches find it very useful as a recommended text. * Joe Tomlinson, Senior Lecturer in Public Law, University of York * This is an excellent book which our students enjoy using. It explains issues well without dumbing down and engages with debate in a way which encourages students to form their own views. * Chloe Wallace, Associate Professor, University of Leeds * The expert commentaries are excellent, not least in that they occasionally challenge the views of the authors, introducing students to the practices of academic debate. * Navraj Singh Ghaleigh, Senior Lecturer, University of Edinburgh *
