The Civil Procedure Rules place great emphasis on the written presentation of trial materials and increase the propensity for cases to be decided on the papers. Yet the Civil Procedure Rules themselves offer little guidance on the drafting of statements of case. This edition seeks to fill the gap, offering a stock of authoritative, structured precedents, complete with guiding commentary. Restructured and rewritten to ensure it fully reflects the changes in practice, it should prove an easily accessible, user-friendly resource. The two-volume work features subjects such as human rights, harassment, information technology, environment, entertainment and sports law.

The Rt Hon Professor Sir Robin Jacob has been variously a leading member of the Intellectual Property Bar, a High Court judge and, as Lord Justice Jacob, a judge in the Court of Appeal of England and Wales. His primary area of expertise is intellectual property (IP) rights. He chose to leave the Court of Appeal in March 2011 to take up his current position as the Sir Hugh Laddie Chair in intellectual property at University College London. Besides teaching and writing he still sits occasionally in the Court of Appeal, sits as an arbitrator, provides expert evidence, chairs the Advisory Committee on the Appointment and Training of the Judges of the Unified Patent Court and often advises the UK Government and EU Commission on IP matters. These essays and speeches, selected from his published and unpublished writings and lectures, illustrate the breadth of his learning in IP and other matters. They are written in typically straightforward and entertaining style and, in the case of the older essays, include a commentary of what has happened since they were first published. They will be of interest to any lawyer, law student or scholar interested in the development of IP law in the past quarter century or so.
