Jurisprudence

Generations of students have regarded Dias as an invaluable deter evel textbook. The fifth edition maintains this tradition, offering clear and concise approach to a potentially difficult and elusive subject

For this new edition the text has been revised and updated throughout

to take account of recent developments in jurisprudential thought,

and a new chapter 3, Rules, laws and legal system, has been added.

Examples of significant advances in case and statute law are used to illustrate modifications in the author's approach to specific problems since the publication of the fourth edition. Review of the last edition:

"This deservedly established work's value is in presenting its traditionally intractable subject with clarity and a welcome practicality a style and methodology of approach likely to capture

and hold the students' attention. Clearly the fruits of wide, deep knowledge, this work merits continued success".
