An appreciation by Phillip Taylor MBE Chambers of Richmond Green
Do you remember What Was That old chestnut as described " , the ' guide, philosopher and friend ' Called ' Learning the Law 'from the 1960s ? I do ... and I am happy to say That the Cambridge Professor ATH Smith , Has Produced the very best effort for a New Year edition after absence of 20 years. It Is Rightly described " as essential reading for all potential lawyers, whether sixth - form or graduates Students Contemplating the Study of Law , or giving further considering career options . Whenever you are Asked - What Is the best book to start on if you want to know a bit about the legal system français ?
The answer will be " Glanville Williams: Learning the Law ". Much of the original text survives purpose 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 come in new, European Union law provisions Thrusting Which Will Warm the Heart MOST of the die -hard Eurosceptic .
I like chapter 14 the best - It is entitled 'General Reading ' . 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 sacrifice part of the writers quoted clearly " DID. To read " Learning the Law 'is year unforgettable experience . Thank you, Professor Smith , for bridging the Twenty- year gap .
