Public Law Directions

• Written in an engaging and lively manner, the book clearly explains all key topics covered on public law courses, making it an ideal book for students new to the subject
• Employs a range of useful learning features, such as real-life examples, case summaries, thinking points, and self-test questions, to develop understanding and encourage active engagement with the material
• An extensive Online Resource Centre provides a range of extra resources for both students and lecturers, including a testbank of multiple-choice questions, podcasts with guidance on answering the self-test questions in the book, and further reading guidance
• A fresh, two-colour text design aids effective navigation around the book
• Includes excellent coverage of police powers and public order, providing support to students who are studying these areas as part of their course

Readership: This book is primarily aimed at undergraduate law students taking a compulsory course in public law in the first or second year of an LLB degree. It is particularly suitable for those who require an accessible introductory text that does not assume prior knowledge. It would also be suitable for CPE/GDL students studying for modules in public law.
