Beginning Employment Law (Paperback)

Reviews

"An excellent first step...." by Phillip T. - 30 December 2014

AN EXCELLENT FIRST STEP TO UNDERSTAND WHAT EMPLOYMENT LAW IS ALL ABOUT An appreciation by Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor of Richmond Green Chambers As James Marson explains in his excellent text book on the subject of Employment Law, “the topic is vast”, but he ably presents this basic primer in easily understandable terms. As with all the Routledge text books, this particular title is probably the best on the market as an introduction to the way in which “Employment Law” operates in England and Wales for those new to the subject. One of the main reasons why we consider the Routledge series of legal textbooks to be of outstanding value both in terms of cost and in content is the way in which their authors (all legal experts) explain substantive legal issues in such a readable fashion. For both tutors and students, a decision on which textbook or revision book to use is always difficult but it is clear to us from the feedback we have received from students that the Routledge texts lead the legal field. Many of their titles also have excellent links to websites sometimes marked as ‘companion websites’ which also add much assistance to the hard-pressed learner and is a great additional tool for all. We would also say that the formats used by Routledge for their books are very much of a mainstream formula for legal texts which eases the student into methods of legal reasoning for those just beginning their legal studies and for all undergraduates: they certainly helped us with our preparation so do ensure you look very carefully at all the titles they have on offer! Marson uses diagrams, tables and what he calls ‘mind maps’ to make the subject come alive. For us, the companion website is an innovation! Therefore, do look at the features at the beginning of the book which will assist with your learning and engagement with the subject matter. The key definitions and key cases are of particular help to those new to the subject and the title remains an ideal first introduction to Employment Law.
