内容説明
The second edition of Ian McLeod's highly successful Legal Method has been fully revised and up-dated in respect of both English and Community sources of law, and continues to provide a lively introduction to the nature of law and legal reasoning. The book, which is both a self-contained study and an invaluable foundation for legal education, is divided into three parts: Ideas and Institutions, Case-Law and Precedent, and Statute Law and Statutory Interpretation. The constant theme is how uncertainties arise within the law and how the course resolves them. The text has been made accessible by lucid explanation rather than by dilution. The sources cited range from W.S. Gilbert and G.K. Chesterton to Alexander Pope and T.S. Eliot, in addition to a wealth of more conventional legal authorities. Reviewing the first edition, the Statute Law Review commented that the author has 'managed, unlike the authors of many contemporary students, to integrate the European Community legal dimension'.
