after six months in this country (lived in a crazy law country called italy for 14 years) I see no advantages on the dissadvantages laws that are needed are not even being thought about instead we make unpractical laws and try so much to preserve the theoretical minority the magority get it us the arse, as for wales I can't say perhaps they have remained a bit more civilized over there.

sorry if this don't quite answer your question just thought I'd snap up a rtant oportunity ;-)
Might be able to help if I understood the question! What's meant by 'law making'?
student of what?
Sorry Student - could you express yourself a little better please?

Exactly! That is the question for an LLB essay! Thought i would throw it open to the floor see if anyone had anything to say?
Just a few thoughts:
Law making is a slow process, a year is considered quick (and that's assuming the HoL don't block the paper)
Laws are general and lacunas pop up
The laws are slow to catch up with high tech crime
BUT:
You could argue the democratic process stance (I make no judgment on the appointment of Lords to the HoL)
The laws are scrutinised well and thus it could be argued mistakes are rare (Note Dangerous Dogs Act or/and Restriction of Offensive Weapons)

These are just some suggestions off the top of my head; as I mentioned, I make no value judgment on the correctness of them. Try a book on constitutional law, usually a good starting place.

Thank you for the direction.
For an LLb essay? So nothing to do with what law is in practice Just some reasoned ramblings through legal principle, history and theory then, as seen by academics LOL(Well,be fair, that's how the essays of some students always turned out!)

Constitutonal law books, as suggested, sound a good place to start.

It may be that the questioner also has in mind that there's a contrast between both statute law on the one hand and common law here on the other (both have pros and cons) and then again Codes as in , say, France.An allusion to Codes might be of interest in the context of how our law has developed and how that compares with the more rigid system of codes.Is it 'better'? Without knowing whether this aspect of legal theory has been taught in your course, it's hard to say

Sometimes comparisons are taught for the purpose of showing that ours is not the only, or best, way.Some people on this site (one anyway) had to learn Roman Law, as though knowing how to manumit (free) a slave or the procedure for marrying and divorcing a Roman citizen (one involving confarreatio, which had something to do with a cake) was a useful exercise.It could be, because Roman lawyers, particularly in sale of goods and contracts, saw legal problems differently from us, but not necessarily wrongly.
it allegedly means we don't end up with anarchy and chaos
*falls over laughing*
Argh, LLB essays, bring back memories!!

A comparison could work, say law making here v. in other places, maybe the impact of european law and other things which affect our law making.

Look at the way laws are made, how democratic is it, do everyday people have a say, who makes the decision and on what basis? What are the advantages and disadvantages of that. Could use a comparitve with say martial law.

You could look at things like bylaws.

Thank you for the direction - I am supposed to cover all sources of law and have to provide reasons and examples.
