Author Description

With the introduction of the GCSE examinations, students now have the opportunity to study a variety of areas of law. This means that the law is now accessible to younger students who may wish to pursue a career in law or may need some knowledge of the law for their future careers. This book meets the curriculum requirements of all four GCSE boards and constitutes a complete course. All the divergent areas of the law are dealt with clearly and to the level stipulated by the examiners. The authors do not simply provide a narrative text since each chapter ends with specimen questions.
