This title is often cited and used as a legal reference for law in Great Britain. It includes short, clear definitions of legal terms, concepts, and processes within the English legal system. The entries are well written and suitable for lawyers, students studying law, and laypeople who need to use or reference the law and legal terms. The tenth edition reflects the UK's new status as a nonmember of the European Union, including a definition of "withdrawal agreement," and adds 120 new entries, many reflecting the changes the country has undergone since Brexit. The book explains "retained EU law" with cross references leading to further explanations. It also includes appendices with abbreviations and online legal resources as well as an unpaged section titled "Writing and Citation Guide" in the middle of the book, marked with gray edges on the paper for easy reference. This book is crucial for libraries covering international business, the European Union, or Great Britain.Summing Up: Highly recommended. Undergraduates through faculty; general readers; professionals.
