Texte suppl.
"Concise, straightforward and great as a first point of reference. The book gives an excellent account of the key points of information enabling students (and myself) to research further to elaborate on key issues... The Unlocking series gives students the chance to understand the key issues in bite-size chunks before moving onto more in-depth, heavy reading if required. I think it certainly delivers its aims."— Rod Brazier, Holborn College, UK (review of third edition)
"It is a very readable book, which presents the material in a structured manner. It integrates a number of valuable pedagogical features such as case and statute extracts, along with sample questions. As such it is a valuable adjunct to any Constitutional Law module…This series, by introducing the topics at the foundational level, in almost "bite sized" chunks, gives the students a readily accessible foundation."—Bruce Wardhaugh, Queens University, Belfast, UK(review of third edition)
"Overall I think that the book is very good, it makes a very difficult subject easier to comprehend…I also like the self-assessment section and key facts; I think these help students prepare for exams... The Unlocking series has been a god send to many students who are having problems coming to terms with difficult concepts…it is a must have for undergraduates."— Emma Fredericks, New College Nottingham, UK (review of third edition)
