About this book

This carefully structured and approachably written text emphasises active learning and encourages discussion. The first section provokes the student to examine how the law works and its role in society. After a central section which introduces Tort and Contract in depth, the third section challenges readers to solve legal problems in the key contexts of the marketplace, employment, the family and crime. The substantial base of case and statute law is brightly and freshly presented. Emphasising the development of legal skills and the social context of law, Mothersole and Ridley will kindle the interest of a new generation of students.
