N2  - "This textbook presents a thorough and engaging examination of the law in Northern Ireland. It explains how laws have been made for the area by legislatures, courts and shows how the fundamental principles of international law, public law, criminal law and private law are applied. It contextualises the numerous legal institutions operating in the jurisdiction, sets out how criminal and civil proceedings work in practice, and provides useful information on the role of lawyers. The appendices set out sample sources of law for illustrative purposes. This edition has been updated to take account of the implications of the 'New Decade, New Approach' agreement of 2020. In the wake of Brexit, it explains the concept of 'retained EU law' and the effect of the Ireland / Northern Ireland Protocol to the EU-UK Withdrawal Agreement. It also considers the recent reviews of administrative law and the Human Rights Act, the work of the shadow Civil Justice Council and Family Justice Board, developments in abortion law and improvements in the way victims of crimes, whenever committed, are treated."--
