Summary:
Introductory Scots Law: Theory & Practice offers a straightforward introduction to the most important areas of Scottish Law. Although it will be an essential handbook for students undertaking advanced law classes as part of HNC or HND qualifications, it is also suitable for those undertaking introductory law classes in other fields (such as professional studies) where there is a 'law component'. Finally, for the general reader, it provides a uniquely accessible guide to the Scottish legal system.

  • The only book aimed specifically at this market
  • A practical guide, including case studies as well as questions with answers
  • Essential - but low-cost - adjunct to several Higher National Qualification courses, especially Law for Business
  • A straightforward guide to Scots Law for the further education student as well as the general reader
