Constitutional & Administrative Law - Softcover

Praise for previous editions; Great care is taken by Barnett to try and painstakingly explain the difficult concepts of constitutional law in language which, although not simple, is straightforward...the author is obviously well-informed about her subject, very quotable for examination question purposes. The Law Teacher, Richard Clements, University of the West of England. 'This is a vast topic but this book assists the student quite considerably to make it understandable and, in many cases, quite enjoyable.' The Legal Executive Journal.

The fifth edition of Hilaire Barnett's "Constitutional Administrative Law" is published at a time of continuing constitutional development and reform. Membership of the European Union has expanded from fifteen to twenty-five states. House of Lords reform is ongoing, now with plans to abolish the office of Lord Chancellor, establish a new Supreme Court and introduce a new system of judicial appointments. Other significant areas of reform discussed in the book include the police and police powers, asylum and immigration law. "Constitutional Administrative Law" provides a clear exposition of the major features of the UK's constitution and a comprehensive summary of recent developments. The book has been consciously designed to meet the needs of students undertaking a constitutional and administrative law course, whether full or part time, and provides comprehensive coverage of the syllabus drawn from a wide range of sources.
