About the Book

A revision guide with comprehensive up-to-date coverage of The English Legal System. This book is the result of many years of students requesting a simplified yet detailed revision guide for AS Law.

This 2nd Edition contains amendments to police powers of arrest and detention under SOCAP, offers students an easy to read summary and explanation of the legal rules, displayed in diagrammatic layout. Topics are presented clearly; with each section of the topic summarised over facing pages, to give a clear overview of the key legal rules and evaluation within each topic.

The inclusion of cases, statistics and comments adds depth to the clearly outlined and simply explained legal rules – thus providing a basis for the evaluation of the law in this area: A hybrid of a textbook and a revision guide.

This book is primarily aimed at students studying OCR AS LAW – however, the clarity of explanation, inclusion of cases and evaluative comments, make this a useful resource as an introduction for all students studying this subject for the first time, at any level.

Each topic is concluded with an example of an OCR board AS level law exam question; along with specimen questions for the new specification for students starting their studies in OCR AS LAW in September 2006.

A valuable resource for A level students embarking upon their journey to gain understanding and success in their study of The English Legal System.
