Start your review of Glanville Williams: Learning the Law. Sep 13, Phillip Taylor rated it it was amazing Recommends it for: all potential law students as a priority.

Recommended to Phillip Taylor by: richmondchambers btconnect. I do… and I am happy to say that the Cambridge Professor, ATH Smith, has produced the very best effort for a new edition after an absence of 20 years.

It is rightly described as essential reading for all potential lawyers, whether sixth-form students or graduates contemplating the study of law, or those considering career options. Whenever you are asked — what is the best book to start on if you want to know a bit about the English legal system? Much of the original text survives but Professor Smith has given much needed emphasis to the new legal agenda of the early twenty-first century — gone are the old, archaic references — and in come new, thrusting European Union law provisions which will warm the heart of the most die-hard Eurosceptic.

It gives the best bibliography available for the range of works on the market for those who love the subject of law as much as some of the writers quoted clearly did. Thank you, Professor Smith, for bridging the gap after some twenty years. Oct 13, Kieran rated it it was amazing.

Jul 05, Chaundra rated it it was amazing Recommends it for: anyone studying Law in England or Wales. Shelves: law , that-shaped-me. Wow, there is good reason this book is on the prelim reading lists for nearly every LLB programme in the country.

It covers just about every aspect of preparing for the law from an overview of the English Legal system, to the foundations of legal research, to best exam practices, to landing the ideal job. Extremely detailed with extensive further reading lists, I have a feeling this book is going to be getting quite the workout over the next couple of years!

Sep 12, Fifi rated it did not like it Shelves: academic. The first few chapters were about Law itself and they were really badly structured and unhelpful for a fresher as legal vocab was thrown around with no definitions to follow up, and sometimes two related terms were mentioned and only one was explained Later chapters about the learning of the law were better, I guess because they relied on the reader's common sense rather than erudition.
