Whoever you are, wherever you are and whatever you're doing, you're potentially never far from the law.  Whether buying a house; getting married; negotiating a contract; seeking compensation; resisting discrimination; confronting institutional intransigence; or enforcing basic civil rights; you will almost certainly require the services of an experienced and trustworthy lawyer.   This need usually arises without warning and knowing where to go for help is often left to chance.  This  book is unique in offering:

• A concise, user-friendly analysis of all the main areas of the law  - from consumer, criminal, disability, education, employment, family and health to housing, immigration, inquests, libel, prisoners' rights and welfare
• A comprehensive list of legal organisations and advice centres
• Detailed and up-to-date information on the important protections now avaliable to people since the European Convention on Human Rights in 2000.
