Radcliffe and Cross: The English Legal System 4th ed

Out of Print

Radcliffe and Cross has become firmly established as one of the best students' books available on the history of English legal institutions and the existing organisation of the courts of law.

It is particularly well written and attractively arranged, providing a most readable account of the development of our present legal system from its early beginnings in the seignorial courts and the Curia Regis of Norman England.

This Fourth Edition has been thoroughly revised both in the light of the research into legal history which has been carried out during the last decade and of the changes which have affected the legal organisation as it stands today. The work is thus brought right up to date and a final chapter has been added surveying the principal current criticisms of the system.

Already widely used for University and Bar examinations both in this country and abroad, there is no doubt that Radcliffe and Cross provides a really admirable introduction to the study of the law. It is also a work which has won very wide appreciation beyond the student sphere, giving general readers a li:vely insight into an interesting and absorbing subject.
