Summary: AS Level Student.
Comment: This book is fantastic if your'e studying A-Level Law with any exam board as this book covers most of the aspects of all the courses syllabus, although it is only written for the OCR and WJEC course. It covers all aspects of law clearly and in plain english so if you're someone new in law, like me you can get the hang of it straight away. Previosuly I've also used thed ELLIOT and QUINN English Legal System Book with each page covered with full text with techncical words, making it hard to understand for a begginer. Personally I think this book is fantastic and a must have for all A-Level students.

Summary: A-Level Student
Comment: I have just started my A-Level Law course, and my law teacher reccomended this law textbook to us. I have to say, that the material Martin covers in this book is sufficent for you to achieve a very good grade in your a-levels. The text is well laid out, making the information easy to read. I would reccomend this book to all law students, and all those who are intersted in how the english legal system operates. A great book. Thanks Jaqueline:D

Summary: 'The English Legal System' is a wonderful update
Comment: I have always been a fan of the textbooks of Jacqueline Martin and look forward to updates for her textbooks. This new fifth edition, with its delightful colour pages, is a superb update to her previous editions.
I am Head of the Department of Laws at Strode's Sixth Form College and we use the books of Jacqueline Martin as core texts for our teaching of AS Law. Indeed, I create online lesson materials (for my students) that are indirectly linked to pages in this excellent text - i.e. so that students can make full use of the value of the textbook materials. There are some great legal activities in the textbook that help bring to life law lessons.
I consider 'The English Legal System' by Jacqueline Martin to be an excellent textbook that has been instrumental in providing a valuable educational text for many of my students that have gone on to read Law for a Degree. Highly recommended.

Summary: Keys Facts is an Essential Resource
Comment: I just recently started the LL.B. Program at The University of London and let me tell you, the required texts are too expansive, they speak to you as though you already know the material, and they fail to draw the main points. I bought all four first year subjects: Criminal Law, Contract Law, Engligh Legal System, and Constitutional and Administrative law in the KEY FACTS SERIES, and let me tell you it is the greatest thing you'll ever do for yourself. I read all before I started and I am way ahead of the class. Also, I use the Key Facts to guide through the unfriendly textbooks to find the relevant material. The Key Facts Series has all the cases, all the main points laid out in a super-easy format which is great for referring to in class. The books are light, and you can read one in about two days.
Thank you, Ms. Jacqueline Martin & Chris Turner, thank you!

Summary: Not as good as the Law Express books
Comment: I bought this because people had given it good reviews and it sounded useful. But it wasn't great. Then I found out about Law Express series and the ELS book by Fafinski and Finch and it is head and shoulders over this book. This book is ok and it condenses the law down to some key principles and the diagrams are alright too but it is a weak copy of Law Express which is lovely and glossy and jam packed full of hints and tips about using the material to get good marks in essays and exams. Key Facts are all very well and good but, pound for pound, Law Express wins hands down.
