The Changing Law By Denning
"The book is not intended to be an exposition of legal propositions. It is only an attempt to draw a picture of the changes that are taking place. The reason for the title "The Changing Law" is because so many people think that the law is certain and that it can only be changed by Parliament. The truth is that the law if often uncertain and it is continually being changed, or perhaps I should say developed, by the judges. In theory the judges do not make law. They only expound it. But as no one knows what the law is until the judges expound it, it follows that they make it. The process of gradual change has been the very life of the common law. The legal profession has usually found itself divided into two camps, those who want to make a change and those who prefer things to stay as they are; and between the two, we have somehow usually found the happy mean. ... If the common law is to retain its place as the greatest system of law that the world has ever seen, it cannot stand still whilst everything else moves on. It must develop too. It must adapt itself to the new conditions. In these lectures, I have shown how this is being done." -- from the Preface, p. vii-viii.
Advocacy Preparation and Performance By selby
Persuasive questioning and argument in our courts and tribunals need skills in case preparation and techniques of presentation. Those skills and techniques are gained by a combination of understanding and practice. This book explains the 'what', the 'why' and the 'how' of basic skills and techniques. The reader is then ready to practice. Knowing the needs and wants of the audience, identifying the links among legal concepts, facts and witnesses, are at the heart of case preparation. That knowledge guides the content and tone of both argument and opening address. Of course the advocate must also be able to ask questions that both bring out the evidence in an acceptable manner and keep the right level of control over each witness. Advocacy is a skill that can always be improved, whether the practitioner is renowned or a novice. This is a book for the new comer, an explanation and illustration of the essential first steps along the road to renown.

Mediation Advocacy By Goodman
"Mediation is not a soft option for the advocate. If you are unprepared, if you do not know what to expect, if you do not know what you are doing, your client will be at a considerable disadvantage and you will come unstuck. This book is aimed at lawyers and other professional advocates who represent clients in mediation. It is written not only for ""first-timers"" needing to learn about the basics of mediation very quickly, particularly as to what they should expect and how they should prepare. More seasoned advocates wishing to specialise in mediation advocacy and who want to develop the particular skills that it requires will also find it invaluable. ""The advocacy skills necessary in a mediation are quite different from those required for the (usually civilised) battle that takes place in a courtroom. That is why ìMediation Advocacyî is such a valuable book. It gives a great deal of very useful advice as to how to prepare for and conduct a mediation from beginning to end. It is an intensely practical book. It will be of great benefit to all those who conduct litigation."" Lord Justice Dyson, Foreword."

Introduction to Legal Theory 2e by Finch
About the Book:
Introduction to Legal Theory The aim of this book is to give an insight into analyses of the nature of law, in a way which is straight forward and yet does not spare students the process of thinking problems out fully. It is much more a self-contained course than a reference book, but it can also provide the basis for wider studies in the field of legal theory. The course is presented in the form of a comparative study within a manageable framework. The views of a number of jurists are examined and specific themes which the reader will find useful, both within the framework of the book and beyond it, are emphasised. There is an introductory chapter, calculated to dispel unnecessary doubts and to remove complications from the study of legal theory. This chapter also provides introductory guidelines which are expanded in later chapters with reference to specific issues. Substantial reference is made throughout the book to original sources, with the author acting as a guide. Each of the developments traced is introduced in such a way as to indicate not just what questions may be asked, but also why they are asked. The text of the first edition has been substantially revised, and two new chapters have been added on subjects which have an obvious claim to the attention of students of legal theory. Chapter 3 deals with some significant practical contributions made by natural law doctrine to the solution of some acute legal and moral problems arising out of the so-called ''grudge informer'' and allied cases in post-war germany. Chapter 9 contains an outline of the juristic thoughts and juridical institutions which originate in Marxist doctrine. Furthermore, existing chapters have been amended so as to take account of some recent assessments of established juristic theories. A legal theory course should induce genuine understanding of the issues involved. The ability to ask questions is at least as important as the ability to give answers; the mere memoris
