Student Review Extracts
Welcome to our student review extracts page, designed specifically with you, the student, in mind. We understand you may not want to read a full length review to get an idea of a certain books benefits and strong points so we've done the legwork for you!
On this page you will find extracts taken from full length reviews; we've taken what we believe to be the most succinct and beneficial points and detailed them here for you.
At the end of each review you will see there is a link to the catalogue entry for the book. This link will take you directly to our online catalogue where you can read more about the book and even place an order.
If there is a specific book you would like to see a review of that is not featured here, just get in touch as not all reviews are listed. I am also interested to hear your thoughts and comments on any aspect of the W. Green website so never hesitate to get in touch with me, Mel Alexander (Marketing Executive at W.

International Private Law in Scotland (Greens Concise Scots Law series)
Second edition
E B Crawford and J M Carruthers
'Indeed principally for students, the book adopts a user-friendly construction. A brief summary at the end of most chapters highlights the key issues. For example, chapter 7 deals over 59 pages with jurisdiction in civil and commercial matters, which is notoriously complicated in Scotland'.
'...this book is timely, up-to-date, comprehensive and recommendable. It achieves its purpose and is the most suitable book that could be recommended to students in Scotland'.

'The casebook by Professor Gane and Sheriff Stoddart is now well established: it has reached the proportions of a telephone directory and it contains so much information that it is difficult to see how any law student might get through a course on Scots criminal law without having it immediately to hand'.
