N1  - As a critical analysis of the law-making process this book has no equal. For more than two decades it has filled a gap in the requirements of law students and others taking introductory courses on the legal system. It deals with every aspect of the law-making process: the preparation of legislation; its passage through Parliament; statutory interpretation; binding precedent; how precedent works; law reporting; the nature of the judicial role; European Union law; and the process of law reform. It presents a large number of original texts from a variety of sources - cases official reports articles books speeches and empirical research studies - laced with the author's informed commentary and reflections on the subject. This book is a mine of information dealing with both the broad sweep of the subject and with all its detailed ramifications; Legislation : the Whitehall stage -- Legislation : the Westminster stage -- Statutory interpretation -- Binding precedent : the doctrine of stare decisis -- How precedent works -- Law reporting -- The nature of the judicial role in law-making -- Other sources of law -- The process of law reform
