Average Rating:
 Rating:  - It's a bit weighty but I like itI was a bit put off by the sheer size of this book but then all the other 'good' constitutional law books were of similar size so perhaps this is the level of detail that is needed to deal with the subject in depth. I liked this book because it felt like a traditional law text book that told you all that you needed to know without any gimmicks aimed at the feeble minded and lazy. You have to work hard with this book but you'll come out the other end knowing a thing or two about constitutional law which is the aim of the game after all. Rating: - Basic Reading'Constitutional and Administrative Law' by Bradley and Ewing is what I would call basic textbook reading. Use this book to get an understanding of the basic law, and then supplement it with a good dose of essay-reading and other books (see, for example, that essential collection of public law essays 'The Changing Constitution' by Jowell and Oliver and 'Public law' by Adam Tomkins) Part of the difficulty is that the textbook follows a certain pattern which might differ from the one used by your own professor during lectures. As such you will have to try and find order in the book. While it is often very thorough, there are some topics that are so essential for a student to grasp that I would say the book needs more information on ...

As a law student, I found it quite amazing when I first read. It's full of information and comments on cases. However, when the end of the term comes and achieving in the exams is my only aim, I discovered that this book was absolutely useless. I mean it's good, for academic research, etc. but not for LLB students. We need comprehensive guide books with essential cases (with full information about the cases) only--not a long boring text book (full of lots of cases and reference but no detail for each case) like this. You can't find your answer unless you've read the whole book. However, if you think ...

Rating:  - BoringI found this book far too boring to use effectively. I found I did everything to avoid working from this text. It does help to simplify some bits but overall I did not find it a good buy. |
