Readership: Human rights or civil liberties courses are increasingly popular options taken in the second or third year of the LLB. Human rights law is a major growth area not only in the UK but internationally. Human rights is also pervasive throughout all the core courses studied on the LLB and so an examination guide on the subject is useful for all law students. Public law is a compulsory course taken in the first or the second year of a law degree and incorporates the subject of civil liberties/human rights.
