CRIMINAL LAW

Students who search for literature on criminal law come across titles like Smith & Hogan Criminal Law and Blackstone's Criminal Practice, both of which are rather extensive while being the definitive practitioner texts. We provide an alternate pocket-sized criminal law textbook. It is more thorough than Criminal Law by Law Express but less thorough than the practitioner texts mentioned above. The book is a guide for anybody learning criminal law in college or university.  It is the ideal book for criminal law education for non-lawyers in the UK, for those seeking to specialise in criminal law, or for those revisiting criminal law.

​

The book delivers the key information you want and organises it in a specified way. It provides the fundamental principle, followed by the case's authority, the case's circumstances, and finally the ratio. The ratio was the determining factor in the court's ruling. The book then provides an explanation of how the case should be used. No other book offers the material in this manner. It encourages students to apply this strategy in their studies and when they create their own notes, if they want to do so.
