"Hilaire Barnett's 'Constitutional and administrative law' has consistently provided students with reliable, accessible and comprehensive coverage of the Public Law syllabus. Mapped to the common course outline, the Fifteenth Edition equips students with a thorough understanding of the UK constitution's past, present and future by analysing and illustrating the political and socio-historical contexts that have shaped the major rules and principles of constitutional and administrative law, as well as ongoing constitutional reform. This edition has been fully updated throughout, including a restructure to chapters 22 and 26, as well as additional pause and reflect sections in order to aid student understanding of this complex area of the law."-- Taken from back cover.
