As a critical analysis of the law-making process, this book has no equal. For more than two decades it has filled a gap in the requirements of law students and others taking introductory courses on the legal system. It deals with every aspect of the law-making process: the preparation of legislation; its passage through Parliament; statutory interpretation; binding precedent; how precedent works; law reporting; the nature of the judicial role; European Union law; and the process of law reform. It presents a large number of original texts from a variety of sources – cases, official reports, articles, books, speeches and empirical research studies – laced with the author’s informed commentary and reflections on the subject. This book is a mine of information dealing with both the broad sweep of the subject and with all its detailed ramifications.

Since 1970 the Law in Context series has been in the forefront of the movement to broaden the study of law. It has been a vehicle for the publication of innovative scholarly books that treat law and legal phenomena critically in their social, political, and economic contexts from a variety of perspectives. The series particularly aims to publish scholarly legal writing that brings fresh perspectives to bear on new and existing areas of law taught in universities. A contextual approach involves treating legal subjects broadly, using materials from other social sciences, and from any other discipline that helps to explain the operation in practice of the subject under discussion. It is hoped that this orientation is at once more stimulating and more realistic than the bare exposition of legal rules. The series includes original books that have a different emphasis from traditional legal textbooks, while maintaining the same high standards of scholarship. They are written primarily for undergraduate and graduate students of law and of other disciplines, but most also appeal to a wider readership. In the past, most books in the series have focused on English law, but recent publications include books on European law, globalization, transnational legal processes, and comparative law.

Index | 512 |
There are no major changes since the last edition but some 60 pages of new material have been added. A high proportion of the new material brings the text up to date. But there are a considerable number of topics that cover entirely new or significantly strengthened material. They include: the constitutional changes involving the abolition of the Lord Chancellor; the proposed move of the House of Lords to a Supreme Court and the establishment of a Judicial Appointments Commission; the composition of the House of Lords; the work of the Joint Human Rights Committee of the Lords and Commons; devolution; parliamentary reform including programming and the carry-over of legislation; the parliamentary scrutiny of delegated legislation; the new Court of Appeal practice of delivering composite judgments; developments regarding intervention in litigation by third parties; and the new EU constitution agreed in June 2004. Important new empirical research, especially by Professor Edward Page informs the revision and strengthening of both Chapter 1 and 2.
One of the most important developments since the last edition is the accessibility of a wealth of material (case law, legislation, statutory instruments, parliamentary debates, official committee and governmental reports) online. Web references are given throughout and the index collects references to the website addresses given in the book.
The manuscript was revised up to July 2004.

The chief purpose of this book is to improve the understanding of the law-making process. For many years I have taught the English Legal System course at the London School of Economics and an equivalent course taken by non-law students. Experience has suggested to me that there is a great gap in the existing literature which this book attempts to fill. It is something between a book of cases and materials, on the one hand, and a textbook on the other. It presents a large number of original texts from a variety of sources – cases, official reports, articles, books, speeches and surveys. It also, however, contains a good deal of the author’s own reflections on the subject-matter. The book deals only with the official forms of law-making on a national scale and therefore says nothing about ‘private’ law-making by lawyers for their clients or by organisations such as trade unions, clubs or companies for their members or shareholders. The book is intended as a companion to the author’s Cases and Materials on the English Legal System [9th edn, 2004]. There is no overlap between the two books. They are intended to complement each other and together to provide the basic reading required for a university or equivalent course on the legal system. It is hoped that the book will also be of value to anyone concerned to understand how the law-making process actually operates.
