Fenwick on Civil Liberties & Human Rights (5th Ed.)
Auteurs : Fenwick Helen, Edwards Richard
More than merely describing the evolution of human rights and civil liberties law, this classic textbook provides students with detailed and thought-provoking coverage of the most crucial developments in the field, clearly explaining the law in context and practice.
Updated throughout for this new edition, Fenwick on Civil Liberties and Human Rights considers a number of recent major changes in the law ? in particular proposals to replace the Human Rights Act with a British Bill of Rights, and the Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015 ? whilst also contextualising the impact of reforms on hate speech and contempt due to advances in new media.
Comprehensive and authoritative, this textbook offers an essential resource for students on human rights or civil liberties courses, as well as a useful reference for students and scholars of UK Public Law.
