This text introduces and demystifies the procedures, customs and controversies of the English legal system. It takes account of changes in the divorce laws, the jury system, the functions of barristers and solicitors and the provisions of legal aid. The authors explain and discuss how the justice system evolved, the way it operates - including vivid descriptions of the trial process - and how lawyers work. Revised and updated throughout for this fifth edition, THE LAW MACHINE surveys recent developments in the workings of justice and the outlook for the future. 'Refreshingly free of the patronizing attitude and the humbug with which other books about the legal system are riddled' - THES
