Genuinely the best textbook ever
Format: Paperback
I have never had a better time understanding cases / the law than in this book. The authors made it incredibly straightforward & easy to read which is highly appreciable as the majority of other legal textbooks are confusing & full of questions without answers. 11/10 recommend!!!!!!!!!!
