Description: "Law in the making assesses the influences and elements that come together in making an Act of Parliament. Through five in-depth case studies, we analyse how legislative proposals change as they journey from policy proposal to law of the land. Through the use of original research, including exclusive interviews with ministers, parliamentarians, civil servants and others, the study sheds much-needed light on the legislative process and enhances understanding of our policial system"-- P.
