The law in brief - Michael Heneker

Books about the Law are normally long, and probably very complicated. As its
title suggests, this book is the opposite. The triumph of Michael Heneker's
approach is that he depicts English Law accurately in its historic context,
defines properly the principles that underlie it, and describes how the legal
system works to deliver justice for everyone. The style is readable, clear and
easy to understand. This is not designed to be a textbook for lawyers, or even
for law students (though it will be enormously useful to anyone who is
considering whether to join the legal profession). It is expressly written for
non-lawyers, that is, for all of us, who are bound to come into contact with
some aspect of the legal system in our daily lives, and want to know more about
what it is, how it works, and what it can do for us. Michael Heneker is a
practising solicitor.
