Recenzijos

I think this book is the best on the market. * Dr Sonya Onwu, Legal Academic Writing Skills (LAWS) Programme Director, London School of Economics * An all-encompassing but very easy to read guide to the crucial skills many law students might otherwise struggle to master; the book is well-structured and complete with online resources. * Dr Andrey Kotelnikov, Lecturer, Robert Gordon University * This book remains the leader in the field for legal skills. * Dr Ryan Hill, Senior Lecturer, Anglia Ruskin University * Very readable and easy to understand - even before I started reading law it was very accessible. * Ross McKirdy, Student, Robert Gordon University * I really like this book. The commentary is clear and the use of diagrams and examples to illustrate key points throughout the book is extremely useful. * Seema Kandelia, Senior Lecturer, University of Westminster * The book is really good! It's a must read to help prevent simple mistakes. * Isabella Wong, Student, University of Surrey * This volume deserves its pre-eminent place in the category. It provides an accessible introduction to key topics and survival skills for new law students, and the depth and range of the coverage are sensitively adapted to its target audience. I have no hesitation in recommending it to students. * Dr Benjamin Spagnolo, Fellow and Lecturer in Law, Trinity College, Cambridge *
