Riddall: Jurisprudence is a firmly established student text-book which presents those jurisprudential topics most commonly taught in law schools today. This book takes a modern approach to the subject and it assumes no prior knowledge on the part of the reader. The text is written in straightforward language, and it offers ideas in a clear, intelligible way.
