Montagu and Weston's Legal Practice Companion is firmly established as the leading support title for students undertaking the Legal Practice Course and a much-valued resource for trainees and lawyers in practice.
The unique approach and structure of the Legal Practice Companion:
Concisely covers all the core and compulsory LPC subjects in one accessible volume;
Presents the law and practice in a step-by-step format;
Breaks down topics in bullet points, making them easier to recall;
Uses graphics, flowcharts and checklists to explain complex areas;
Makes an excellent starting point for primary source research, as case or legislation citation is included wherever possible.
The Legal Practice Companion is the perfect one-stop study guide for LPC students. It is also an invaluable resource for trainees, solicitors and legal executives seeking a single volume overview of current law and practice.
