The Penguin Dictionary of Law is a handy reference guide for lawyers, students and anyone interested in the workings of the legal system.

Ideal for anyone who would like to improve their understanding of the English legal system.

This book develops students' understanding and practice of client interviewing, writing and drafting, negotiation and advocacy in the context of extensive research in the legal profession and the civil and criminal justice systems. It emphasizes the extent to which lawyering is a dynamic process, determined by a variety of legal, business and ethical considerations. It encourages students to develop a critical and reflective approach geared to developing their abilities to manage this dynamic environment.
