ABSTRACT

This introduction presents an overview of key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book. The book demonstrates how to apply the knowledge to the question and how to structure the answer. It will be particularly useful at exam time, but it may also prove useful throughout the year. The book deals with one of the main themes covered in legal system courses and contains typical questions on that area. The aim of the book is to pick out the areas that tend to be examined because they are particularly contentious or topical. Some areas tend to be examined only by essays, some mainly although not invariably by problems, and some by either. The book provides examples of the kind of questions that are usually asked in end-of-year examinations, along with suggested solutions.
