Description and Table of Contents
Description
This is the third edition of "Constitutional Law, Administrative Law and Human Rights - A Critical Introduction". The book provides a clear introduction to the subject of public law, with the emphasis on material drawn from political theory, political science and social history. As such, it is highly regarded for its contextual approach. The new edition builds on the expanded contents of the second, continuing to cover the traditional contents of LLB constitutional and administrative law courses. However, it takes full account of the Human Rights Act 1998 and its initial application by the courts.
