The Foundations of Law Series is aimed at postgraduate level readers studying areas of law for the first time. Whilst introducing the framework of key legal concepts, it also gives the reader an opportunity to identify and explore areas of critical interest.

English Legal System and Constitutional Law provides a systematic and practical portrayal of the legal system of England and Wales, including core topics such as the court structure, statutory interpretation and the doctrine of precedent. It also provides a structured, up-to-date and accessible depiction of the fundamental principles of the UK constitution, such as the separation of powers and parliamentary sovereignty, incorporating the impact of Brexit.

This book is part of a series of 7 textbooks that have been specially designed to cover academic law for students converting to law. Published and updated regularly, these user-friendly study manuals are designed to help you successfully acquire knowledge and understanding of the foundational law of England & Wales.

They provide solid knowledge and understanding of fundamental legal principles and rules, while bringing the law and practice to life with example scenarios based on realistic client problems.

For students at The University of Law, the textbooks are used alongside other learning resources to prepare students not only for achievement of an academic qualification, but also for a future life in professional legal practice.
