Learning Legal Rules Reviews

The authors have conceived an expansive yet straightforward, a detailed yet highly readable, examination of the vagaries of legal method both in theory and in practice. * New Law Journal *
A well-written, accessible yet detailed introduction to legal method. * Rosie Harding, Professor of Law and Society at the University of Birmingham *
An excellent textbook for students new to law. It not only provides essential information, but crucially helps students develop the skills to find, interpret and engage with law and legal issues... essential reading for introductory law courses. * Dr Anthony Farrant, Lecturer at the University of Bedfordshire *
A helpful volume, laying out a range of key elements in acquiring legal skills and techniques, with clear structure and guidance for the novice student. * Angus Johnston, Hoffmann Fellow in Law, University College and Professor of Law at the University of Oxford *
A very useful text, well presented with very handy and easy-to-use diagrams. * Ruth Houghton, Graduate Teaching Assistant at the University of Durham *
Holland & Webb encourage students to assume the perspective of a legal decision-maker, tackling various aspects of legal practice including judicial precedents, statutory interpretation, and the application of EU and ECHR law amongst others. * Dr Gunther Auth, Lecturer at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitat, Munich *
A sophisticated introduction to legal method and academic skills for lawyers... An incredibly valuable resource. * Jeremy Marshall, Lecturer in Law at the University of Liverpool *
