Textbooks are the first place for you to start when learning about the law. These describe the law and highlight the main issues you should know. They only include the summary of cases and legislation.
Casebooks discuss cases in more depth and are useful at assignment time when you need to discuss your topic in more detail.
Where can I find the books? Law books start at classmark 340 and Criminology starts at 364 in the Library on floor 2 of David Hockney Building.
How long can I borrow the books for? Most books can be borrowed for 2 weeks.
LLB Law Level 4
