English legal system - Susan McKenzie

No matter how good a person's research and study skills, the ultimate test for the law student is the exam, and the more preparation made the better equipped will that person be for that final hurdle. The Blackstone "Law Questions and Answers" series gives students an opportunity to practice their exam techniques, and to evaluate and assess their progress.Each book in the "Q&A" series is written by experienced law lecturers who are themselves examiners. The books cover all the essential topics found in undergraduate law degree courses, CPE courses and other undergraduate courses where law is an essential element.The books are divided by chapters covering each major topic, and contain up to 50 questions and answers. Each chapter has an introduction focusing on important legal aspects and points of interest, including suggestions for further reading. After each question there is a commentary which highlights the essential elements of each question, and indicates what the examiners are looking for.Subjects covered in the book include access to the civil justice system; the criminal justice system: principles and failings; defending suspects at the police station, the right to silence and plea bargaining
