Reviews
Civil Justice Quarterly, 1995
There is a wealth of experience distilled into this book.
Justice of the Peace & Local Government Law, 1995
... the text is given over to a very useful and detailed analysis of legislative language ... which is of the greatest value, since an understanding of how the drafters mind works is an invaluable aid to interpreting the legislative language.
