Professor Zander is well known as a professor for many years at the LSE and the legal correspondent of The Guardian. He is one of the acknowledged experts on the English legal system. This book has a long provenance and it shows. It first appeared 40 years ago in the ground breaking Law in Context series and this is the eighth edition. The rather eccentric editing demonstrates an accretion over a long period of time. Part of it reads as a well written treatise but much of it seems like a collection of materials.
Range
The range of subjects covered is very catholic. What is valuable for law student and lawyer alike is that it considers all aspects of law making from ‘the Whitehall stage’ through the Westminster stage
