Reviews
This is an impressive piece of scholarship. It manages to be comprehensive in its scope, analytically rigorous, yet accessible. -- Dr Peter Coe * University of Reading *
Thorough, up-to-date analysis of everything to do with the HRA. Very interesting background information, before going into details about each of the HRA provisions. Non-technical, accessible language. Good structure. -- Dr Nataly Papadopoulou * University of Leicester *
Covers a wide range of topics, enabling students to engage fully and critically with the subject. -- Dr Michelle Weldon-Johns * Abertay University *
A very valuable and up-to-date addition to existing work in this area. -- Helen Fenwick * Durham University *
This is an excellent volume. It deals with the context to, the contents of and the effects flowing from the Human Rights Act 1998 with respectable clarity. I think students will find it very useful and accessible. -- Dr Conor McCormick * Queen's University Belfast *
A very good (and accessible) examination of the law on the Human Rights Act, as well as an exploration of the Convention rights. -- Samuel White * University of the West of Scotland *
This is an excellent account of human rights in UK Law and under the ECHR and I recommend it to all students. -- Steve Foster * Coventry University *
[Human Rights Law] is well structured and informative... Amos has done well to compress the case law on the Act into 178 pages without omitting reference to all of the key cases...It should serve as a very useful book for students and practitioners alike. -- Robert Weir * New Law Journal (of the second edition) *
This is a solid textbook on domestic human rights law...a real boon to students and those approaching the field for the first time. -- Roger Smith, Director of Justice * New Law Journal (of the first edition) *
The first work in which the interpretation and application of the act, by courts in England and Wales, is comprehensively examined and analysed. -- A G Noorani * Economic and Political Weekly (of the first edition) *
The introductory chapter, providing background and dealing with interpretation, brings together a wide range of useful information ... and is a good starting point for the keen student ... The book is characterised by clarity of explanation combined with detailed treatment that manages to incorporate much more than one might expect from a book that addresses such wide-ranging issues. -- Peter Halstead * The Law Teacher (of the first edition) *
