Summary

"Malleson's The Legal System provides an overview of the institutions, personnel, and procedures that make up the legal system in England and Wales. Recent changes are explained and critically evaluated, and the text explores a number of key competing themes and underlying tensions, which run through the legal system. These are identified in the first chapter and then illustrated through concise commentary and practical examples in the following chapters."--BOOK JACKET.
