Parliament and the Law
Parliament and the Law (Second Edition) is an edited collection of essays, supported by the UK's Study of Parliament Group, including contributions by leading constitutional lawyers, political scientists and parliamentary officials.

The Court of Appeal
Civil justice has been undergoing a massive transformation.

It examines the impact of the permission to appeal requirements, and the way in which app...

Law and the Spirit of Inquiry
This rich and fascinating collection of essays, in honour of Sir Louis Blom-Cooper, reflects the high regard in which he is held throughout the world.

Louis' commitment has been on an international scale and in many of the out-of-the-way parts of the world he has a near-hero status. Not many Queen's Counsel will, for example, have been prepared to make the near 6...
