LawExpress: Constitutional and Administrative Law (6th edn) by Chris Taylor

 LawExpress: Constitutional and Administrative Law (6th edn) by Chris Taylor is a good revision guide which covers the main elements as well as some additional elements of the Constitutional and Administrative Law specification, which is part of all qualifying law degrees in England and Wales. It covers the broad curriculum, including The constitution of the UK, Institutions of State, principles of the constitution, human rights, judicial review, Brexit and much more.

I liked this book because it explained the relevant law in very clear and easy-to-understand language. It was straight to the point, really teaching the lesson what needed to be learnt rather than continuously talking around the point, which has been a feature of some Constitutional and Administrative Law textbooks. The sample questions and advice throughout are very helpful, as are the case and statute snapshots which are brought to the student's attention. I should also mention that the topic maps and case summary maps are also really good features for both the revision period and for students who may have open-book exams, although this now seems to be coming to an end.

Although this book is straight to the point of the most essential knowledge, it would be really good if it could go into slightly more detail in some areas of the book. It may also be good if they used psychology to help students memorise the information better, for example, by using acronyms, acrostics, and mnemonics to help support a student's learning and memory. It could be better to have a multiple-choice question section to provide students with a quick-fire round of questions to help aid their revision further. 

Altogether, I rate this book 2 stars, making it an alright book as it successfully helps introduce students to the Constitutional and Administrative law module, giving them the information in easy-to-understand language and really breaking it down, to some extent. I would definitely recommend this book (but ideally the newest edition) to all law students both for pre-reading before the relevant lecture and as a starting point for your revision.
