Review from previous edition This book is excellent, and it is difficult to think of any other textbook authored by academics with greater expertise. - Vicky Thirlaway, Senior Lecturer in Law, Sheffield Hallam University
It is the best public law textbook on the market and academics with a variety of approaches find it very useful as a recommended text. - Joe Tomlinson, Senior Lecturer in Public Law, University of York
This is an excellent book which our students enjoy using. It explains issues well without dumbing down and engages with debate in a way which encourages students to form their own views. - Chloe Wallace, Associate Professor, University of Leeds
The expert commentaries are excellent, not least in that they occasionally challenge the views of the authors, introducing students to the practices of academic debate. - Navraj Singh Ghaleigh, Senior Lecturer, University of Edinburgh
