Law in Northern Ireland (Third edition.)

This is the latest edition of a book which is the standard introductory text for newcomers to the legal system of Northern Ireland.

After explaining how law-making has evolved in Northern Ireland, particularly since the partition of Ireland in 1921, the book devotes separate chapters to the current constitutional position of Northern Ireland, to the making of legislation and case law for that jurisdiction, and to the influence of EU and European Convention law.

It then examines the principles of public law applying in Northern Ireland and outlines the role of some of the public authorities there.
