3. The English Legal System by Slapper and Kelly elucidates and evaluates how our legislation is formulated and applied. Updated annually, this authoritative textbook clearly explains the legal principles of England and Wales and their cumulative influence as a sociocultural institution.

   This most recent version of The English Legal System presents and analyzes modifications made to the legal system and digests recent legislation and case law. The Protection of Freedom Act 2012, the Defamation Bill, the Justice and Security Bill 2012, the Mental Health (Discrimination) Bill 2012, and the July 2012 vote on Parliamentary reform are all encompassed into the text, and this edition also considers changes to the Crown Prosecution Service, Mediation and Judicial Diversity. The cases Alvi v Secretary of State for the Home Department (judicial review), AXA General Insurance Limited v The Lord Advocate (Scotland) (devolution), R v J, S, M and R v KS (jury tampering), and Rolf v De Guerin (mediation) are all summarized in the text.

   The text also includes the latest government papers on delinquent behaviour, and criminal justice reform, the Practice Direction on citing authorities in court, and the Leveson Inquiry.
