Law Alive: The New Zealand Legal System in Context 2e builds on the successes of the first edition. Providing a contextual approach to teaching first year law, it promotes active learning and encourages students to see the law as a living part of the political, social, economic and cultural life of New Zealand. The book has been comprehensively updated and revised to reflect recent developments in case and statute law and each chapter features exercises withadditional material. Some of the exercises are for students to work on themselves, while others can be used by teachers as tutorial exercises. In both cases, the exercises encourage active engagement with the information found in this textbook.
