This book can be used as a self-study guide as well as in the classroom. It is written in a lively, clear and accessible way and is designed to help students of all learning styles to understand the subject.

Author Biography

I have a 2:1 Honours degree in Law as well as a professional legal qualification (Member of the Chartered Institute of Legal Executives) and academic qualifications (City and Guilds 7307 (Parts 1 and 2) and a Post Graduate Certificate in Further Education). I am a fully qualified and experienced teacher, formerly head of the law department at a sixth-form college and a senior examiner with AQA (one of the major A-level Law examination boards). I have a wide range of teaching experience at various levels in the classroom, by e-mail, online, and face-to-face, one-to-one. As well as the many law books for Kindle and Create Space from 2014, I have been involved with several other projects. In 2009 I wrote the tort and concepts of law units for the National Extension College course and updated this in 2014. In 2017/2018 I am writing the materials for all the subjects in the new course for the AQA 2017 specifications at both AS and A level. I have created a range of teaching materials for Hodder Education. A CD-ROM containing PowerPoint presentations for teachers to use in the classroom, as well as worksheets and exercises for contract, tort, crime and concepts of law, a series of dynamic learning materials for teachers of law, and a revision book for AQA law. I am a regular contributor to the A-Level Law Review magazine and have also contributed to the A-Level Conference for Teachers of A-Level Law in Cambridge. Worksheets for 2009 and 2010 and other information about available materials can be found on my website www.drsr.org Much of my tutoring, writing and other materials production is done in Greece where I spend half my time.
