International Human Rights Law

How do you keep students motivated when their perception of a subject conflicts with the reality of its academic study? International human rights law, unquestionably an exciting field, is also complex and demanding. In his breakthrough textbook, De Schutter focuses on international human rights law as global legal system, rather than as a collection of different (though related) rights, giving it relevance and immediacy. Drawing on cases and materials from a wide range of sources, it shows how human rights law is used as a tool to address contemporary issues such as counter-terrorism, global poverty and religious diversity. Materials are organised thematically, allowing readers to make comparisons and connections between different legal treaties and systems. Students can also easily assess how human rights are protected under domestic and international laws. The law is placed in context throughout, ensuring full understanding of why laws exist and how they work.

Throughout the book a wealth of learning features - such as questions, discussion points and summaries - are used to help students develop their knowledge and understanding of the issues.

Land Law (Foundation Studies in Law Series) 8th Edition

Land Law provides a clear, lively and very approachable treatment of the main principles of the subject, with an in-depth coverage of key topics, described and analysed at an appropriate depth for undergraduates. The book has a number of features to make it attractive to students, in particular the chapter on applying knowledge to solve examination problems and the helpful glossary of land law terminology. The fourth edition has been radically restructred to fit in with the form of the majority of undergraduate and land law courses. The author now discusses in turn each of the estates and interests in land, and how they can be aquired, held, protected and lost. However, the original virtue of the previous editions remains in the pratical and down-to-earth explanation of a subject that students often find abstract and difficult. The book gives an up-to-date account of recent case law and legislative developments. Reform is also considered, most importantly the reform of land registration heralded by the Law Commision Consultation Paper and on Land Registration in the Twenty-First Century. The wide-ranging implications of this are considered throughout the book.

Mason and McCall Smith's Law and Medical Ethics

This classic textbook has provided students of medical law and ethics with a framework for exploring this fascinating subject for over 25 years. Providing coverage of all of the topics found on medical law courses, it gives an overview of the inter-relationship between ethical medical practice and the law. The authors, both hugely experienced and influential in the field, offer their own opinions on current debates and controversies, and thereby encourage readers to formulate their own views and arguments. As a still-developing discipline, medical law is significantly shaped by the courts, and as such this book provides extensive coverage of recent judicial decisions as well as statutory developments. The last edition included a new chapter on the European dimension to health care, and this edition continues to take a comparative approach, with particular importance attached to the shift in influence from transatlantic jurisdictions to those of the EU. This book has continually evolved to reflect changes in the law and shifting ethical opinions - this eighth edition continues to fulfill this remit and is essential reading for any serious medical law student or practitioner, as well as being of interest to all those involved in the delivery and control of modern healthcare.
