Introduction to Law in a Nutshell

Law and law eduction is not, nor will it never be, a static entity. Due to the new governmental system of Turkey, there are new changes in terms of the sources of law (especially Presidential Decrees), constitutional law and administrative law etc. Any useful textbook dealing with law must reflect these changes. As a result, where applicable, the law is updated in this textbook. Neverthless, it must be noted that the structure remains similar, but includes additional information on the chapters where it deems necessary. Therefore, this second edition represents a thorough and revision edition of the first edition. Students studying for political sciences will find much material which introduces them to most of the foundation subjects, as well as familiarising them with legal concepts, legal methods and many aspects of the Turkish legal system. Finally, due to a forthcoming textbook of Constitutional Law in a nutshell, I have slightly changed the title of the first edition of textbook as Introduction to Law in a nutshell. Hopefully, the "In a Nutshell" series will be helpful introductions to the law in a variety of subjects such as general principles of constitutional law, Turkish administrative law and the law of Turkish administrative procedure.
