This book was developed in association with the Cobden Trust to help students of 14-19 years learn about their rights and responsibil ities and understand something of the moral and legal concepts that underlie the law. It seeks to achieve these aims in three ways: by giving practical information about the law and about citizens' rights and duties; by encouraging debate on issues that concern rights and responsibi lities; and by developing in students the skills they will need to help them fi nd their way round the system as they grow up. The book has been tested and found useful on a wide range of courses: general studies, social studies, history, English and so on. The six chapters of the book are divided into short subsections, mainly of two to four pages. These contain a mixture of simple, clear explanations and short case studies, many involving young adults with whom students will readily identi fy. Explanations and case studies are followed up with suggestions for further fact-finding discussion and role play. Students are asked to put careful thought into these activities and to draw on their own experience whenever possible. This large-format book is illustrated with l ine drawings, cartoons, photographs, newspaper extracts etc. (ILEA catalogue).
