An informative and practical guide to legal skills, which artfully combines the fundamental components of both academic and practical legal skills in an accessible manner. A must read for any law undergraduate or for those embarking on the Graduate Diploma in Law. The addition of a new chapter titled' Employability Skills' helpfully emphasises the transferability of legal skills and highlights non-law career options. The fact this text is now in its 10th edition is a testament to the commitment and hard work of the authors. * Oliver Powell KC, Outer Temple Chambers, Barrister of Gray's Inn and Barrister of the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court *
A stylish and compact book; clear and easy to navigate with useful diagrams in an approachable and engaging format. * Vince Pescod, Senior Lecturer in Law, University of Law *
Clear and practical for all law students - the perfect accompaniment to an LLB. * Ellen Winchester, Senior Lecturer in Law, Anglia Ruskin University *
The picture of the lifebelt on the cover sums up the ethos of the book perfectly - I wish I had had access to this when I was a student.
This is an excellent book; it is written accessibly and has a really helpful mix of diagrams, figures and text. It is comprehensive in its coverage, but the level of detail is sufficient for students in later years to return to it as a useful reference. * Dr Ben Hudson, Lecturer in Law, University of Exeter *
