Constitutional & Administrative Law (9th edition)

Constitutional and Administrative Law (Public Law) is a dynamic area of law that significantly impacts our lives. It provides the legal framework for government operations, citizen rights, and legislative processes. Hilaire Barnette’s classic textbook offers students insights into the constitution's evolution by examining the political and socio-historical contexts that shape public law principles and ongoing reforms. This edition has been rigorously edited for conciseness and addresses contemporary developments, including the UK's first coalition government in nearly 60 years and proposals for fixed-term parliaments and electoral reform. Key features include introductory chapter overviews, concise chapter summaries for reflection, marginal cross-references to highlight topic connections, and a comprehensive companion website for enhanced study across various subjects. Mapped to the common course outline, this textbook thoroughly covers the Public Law syllabus. Written in a clear and accessible style, it serves as an invaluable resource for all Public Law students.
