An excellent introduction art read for anyone looking to transition from practising law within a continental legal system to a common law-based one, in this case, England and Wales.
Compared to a lot of other books you will first get this one is a breeze to read and guides you through the basics in no time. I got this on my first OU law course and found it really helped enhance and complement the course text.
