Legal Method and Reasoning Reviews

'All the information is very clearly presented. Each Chapter has set learning outcomes, and information is helpfully broken down into bullet points, tables and flow charts. Each chapter ends with a case study, applying the principles that have been taught. The book should help students to think logically and analytically, and suggest how to apply theoretical principles to practical situations'. The Trainee Magazine, Autumn 2004
