The Key Facts series is designed to give a clear view of each subject. This will be useful to students when tackling new topics and is invaluable as a revision aid. Most chapters open with an outline in diagram form of the points covered in that chapter. The points are then developed in list form to make learning easier. Supporting cases are given throughout by name and for some complex areas the facts of cases are given to reinforce the point being made. The topics covered for Constitutional and Administrative Law are suitable for students studying on a variety of courses, especially first year degree and foundation courses in law. This book includes chapters on the nature of constitutions, sources of constitutional law, fundamental doctrines, Parliament and central government, the implications of membership of the European Union, civil liberties (including public order and police powers), human rights (with reference to the European Convention on Human Rights and the Human Rights Act 1998) and judicial review. The law is as I believe it to be on 1st May 2010. However, where appropriate, reference has been made to the Coalition Agreement resulting from the General Election and proposed legislation as set out in the Queen’s Speech. Students should appreciate that this change of government will result in significant changes to policy, legislative proposals and legislation currently in force that at this point cannot be fully predicted.
