Reviews

I welcome the book as a major statement on a twenty-first century evaluation of common law as our own legal system becomes more entwined in EU law, and global legal and financial issues (most certainly the financial ones) appear so much more relevant to all than they once did The greatest value of the book for me is that it places our picture of the common law in its contemporary context and reviews our criminal and civil procedures Philip Taylor, Barrister-at-Law, Richmond Green Chambers (http: //www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubc7WUyfAu8)
