Key Ideas in Law

Series Editor: Nicholas J McBride (University of Cambridge)

Hart Publishing’s series Key Ideas in Law offers short, stimulating introductions to legal subjects, providing an opportunity to step back from the detail of the law to consider its broader intellectual foundations and ideas, and how these work in practice. Written by leading legal scholars with great expertise and depth of knowledge, the books offer an unparalleled combination of accessibility, concision, intellectual breadth and originality in legal writing. The books will appeal to students seeking a concise introduction to a subject, stimulating wider reading for a course or deeper understanding for an exam, as well as to scholars and practitioners for the fresh perspectives and new ideas they provide.
