The Rule of Law edition by Tom Bingham Religion Spirituality eBooks Reviews

• As an adult law student, just wanna learn more from this book about what is rule of law, especially where I'm living is debating day and night about losing the spirit of rule of law in our legal system. I have to say the book is not particularly interesting, if you are not enthusiastic about law or studying law, the topic maybe too easy to attract you to start reading it and eventually you might feel a little bit boring. However, few things mentioned by late Lord Bingham are very interesting, at least to me, about the history of rule of law and his perspectives about how to deal with it in the future. I would recommend to law student reading this book, especially who wants to focus on public law.
• The longest dictionary definition I have ever read.
  
  This is an interesting, authoritative definition of what the "rule of law" means, and what its meanings entail.
• As Tom Bingham had said in his preface, this book is suitable not only for lawyer but also for non-lawyer who has interested in the concept of the Rule of Law. The author traced us back through its history and origins in Part I, then described the most important elements for being the state governed by the Rule of Law in Part II, and go on about interrelationship between the Rule of Law and the International Communities in Part III. Its contents are essential with useful footnotes. The writing style is, for ordinary reader; non-lawyer, easy to follow. I highly recommend this one.
• Having been a member of the International Commission of Jurists for many years and working to promote the rule of law, it is refreshing to read the works of an eminent British Judge where he attempts to codify and give some real interpretive meaning to this off abused and misunderstood concept. People in government and particularly leaders should read the book before claiming that their government is a rule of law government
• Interesting book, great read
• One of the most interesting books I've read (twice) and makes clear all the legal principles we're used to in the Western world and why we should not stray from those principles.It gives an explanation as to why countries that have embraced the rule of law have flourished and individual freedom is so precious. It certainly makes you more aware when politicians and bureaucrats tinker with our freedoms.Should be a school textbook.
• This is a very scholarly and well-written book. Lord Bingham uses wonderful examples from cases and other authorities to illustrate various points. Though it is scholarly, it is interesting to read. A no nonsense approach with some humor in places. This is an excellent read for anyone interested in law and gives one an understanding of what the rule of law is and why it is important in society.
• In this book, Tom Bingham breaks down and explains the details and origins of the fundamental concepts necessary for what has become the expected norms for our modern justice system. Incisive and insightful, Bingham peppers his explanations with fascinating anecdotes from a long and illustrious career. His approach is comprehensive and direct, but pitched in terms and language that is accessible to an educated layperson.
