Constitutional and Administrative Law

First published in the 1930s, Bradley, Ewing and Knight is one of the UK's best known law textbooks of all time. Written by a team of senior academics and a leading public law practitioner, the book is the definitive guide to all aspects of the constitution, and has been cited by courts across the world, including the UK's Supreme Court. At its heart however, the book remains a student textbook with one fundamental aim; to provide all law students with a readable and comprehensive grounding in Public Law suitable for use on both first year modules, and more advanced courses.
