The Water Cooler: student edition

[admin]

* How do you sue? A new interactive book that teaches students and newly qualified solicitors how to start legal proceedings has been launched by legal experts at Staffordshire University?s law school. The City Litigation Handbook 2008-09 (OUP) has been co-authored by Susan Cunningham-Hill and Karen Elder, senior lecturers on the Legal Practice Course (LPC) in the school. Elder says that it guides students and young practitioners through the civil court system and is ?entirely vocational? so includes tips on what to do if you are suing or being sued. Direct links to key sites and expert commentaries on recent legal developments are also included. The book follows a similar format to the Criminal Litigation Handbook produced by the law school and co-authored by Lisa Mountford and Martin Hannibal. The book has been adopted by a number of LPC providers.
