Summary:

Public law relates to the operation of government and the regulation of the relationship between the government and its citizens. It also regulates other public bodies, such as the courts, the Scottish Parliament, local government and the police. Public Law Essentials explains the most important aspects of constitutional law in the UK. From the UK constitution to the Monarchy, and from the Scottish and UK parliaments to the parliamentary ombudsman, this is your essential guide to how constitutional law works in Scotland and the UK, and how it interacts with other areas of law.
