 Collier R, 'Book Review, Cownie and Bradney, English Legal System in Context', [1998] 1 Web JCLI
As developed in the studies of the specific areas of the legal system which follow, whether it is in relation to courts, tribunals, police powers, legal reasoning or civil justice, Cownie and Bradney highlight what they see as the complexity and diversity of dispute resolution, the always contestable nature of the 'English Legal System'.
What English Legal System in Context seeks to do, however, far from treating issues such as arbitration procedures, private courts, conciliation schemes and processes removed from the state apparatus as being peripheral to the (rule/state-centred) main text, is to move such concerns 'centre stage'.
Yet, ultimately, I wonder whether English Legal System in Context is also a book that serves to reveal both the strengths and the weaknesses of contextual, socio-legal scholarship, at least as it is presently being conceptualised in the UK context.
