Law books

Understand how the justice system and democracy works with the best law books, from Tom Bingham’s seminal The Rule of Law, which offers a broad look at what the rule of law means, to The Narrow Corridor and The Idea of Justice, which offer new thinking on ideas around law, while Helena Kennedy offers a look at the law through the eyes of women with Eve Was Framed. And if you’re after the basics, begin with The Penguin Dictionary of Law and Goode and McKendrick on Commercial Law.
