New Book Gives Insider's View of Law Reform Commission Work

The Law Commission of England has published a new book, Inside Modern Law Reform, that provides an insider's point of view of the history of the Commission and how it carries out its work to make laws more relevant, modern and fair.

From the brief description on the Commission website:

"As well as describing the history and process of law reform, the book outlines the wide-ranging social and economic benefits it provides, the importance of an independent Law Commission, the unique work it does in Wales, its international relationships, and the opportunities they offer to enrich the Commission’s work."

"While the level of detail provided in the book may be of more interest to those who are already familiar with the work of a law reform body, nonetheless the Commission hopes that the work will be of interest to a more general audience. Above all, the work is aimed at all those who share a concern for good law reform both nationally and internationally."

"The Commission is indebted to the many thousands of individuals and organisations who have contributed so fully and generously to its law reform projects over the decades and from whom it has learned and continues to learn. It is because of these contributions that it has been able to build up the wide-ranging experience of law reform described in this book."

The book is available for free in PDF format.
