How to Do Things with Rules

Co-written by William Twining and Miers, this book addresses the mental techniques that law students must develop, particularly those involving how rules are read, applied and handled.

It is aimed at several readers at once: people considering a law degree, first-year LLB students taking courses in legal method, and students of jurisprudence who study interpretation and legal reasoning. Its breadth makes it useful as an introduction to the field. This edition updates the discussion of legal developments, gives more attention to European Union law and legislation, and adds new examples and exercises.
