Thinking Critically About Law
You arrive at university to embark upon your journey to ‘think like a lawyer’, but is simply knowing the law enough to gain you the best marks? What do you need to do, exactly, to achieve a first-class law degree and promising professional career? For top marks, what do your lecturers mean when they say you need to deepen your ‘critical analysis’ to answer assessment questions? When should you put your own viewpoints forward? When, and how, should you draw upon the work of others? What do your examiners mean when they give you feedback saying that your work is ‘too descriptive’? This book explores what it means to think critically and offers practical tips and advice for students to develop the process, skill and ability of thinking critically while studying law, as well as beyond that in the workplace. The second edition of Thinking Critically About Law utilises art, music, poetry and prose to explore essential questions about studying law and what it means to think critically, offering practical tips and advice for students looking to develop critical thinking skills in relation to law. Updates reflect seismic changes that have taken place both in law teaching and in society more generally. These include the Covid-19 pandemic, social movements sparked by the murders of murders of Sarah Everard and George Floyd, moves to decolonise the law curriculum and the introduction of the SQE qualification. There is also an innovative foreword by Professor Russell Sandberg, a new chapter on the topic of how to think critically during discussions, a new section on Thinking Critically About Law in the Future as well as a renewed emphasis on the health and well-being of students. Other student-focused resources will be available as support materials. Thinking Critically about Law is a crucial companion for those studying law at A-Level and undergraduate level, as well as being relevant to postgraduate students, newly qualified lawyers and tutors of law.

The English Legal System is a legal system that dates back to 1066, evolving over time until the present day. Throughout the world, it is known as common law. While Common law consists of case-law and statutes, it has reached its present state by incorporating elements of international law, prerogative power and other legal and non-legal sources such as conventions and customs. This book does not repeat material that is available in many textbooks that are in print. Rather, it endeavours to present every topic in plain language and concludes every chapter with a fictitious explanatory sample case. In other words, it is an introduction to the subject of the English Legal System, the objective of which is to explain the topic both theoretically and in its application. Additionally, this book will assist students to prepare for courseworks/examinations. At the end of the book there is also a test that summarises all the subjects contained in the book, which is appropriate to the first stage SQE examination model that will be introduced in September 2021.
