McCOUBREY & WHITE’S TEXTBOOK ON JURISPRUDENCE
Main Article Content
Abstract
J E Penner, 4th edn (Oxford: Oxford University Press 2008) ISBN 9781847030221Professor J E Penner has assumed responsibility for McCoubrey and White’s Textbook on Jurisprudence, in the form of the new 4th edition. Previous editions were well structured, clear and wide ranging introductions to a difficult subject, and in these respects Penner’s 4th edition is no different. The main changes are twofold. First, there is more detailed exploration of certain topics; secondly, there is a broadening of subject matter through the inclusion of theoretical schools unaddressed by previous editions. Overall, the 4th edition is a significant improvement on its predecessors and Penner is to be congratulated for making a good textbook better.
