«'Abel has long been the most learned and perceptive commentator on the English legal profession...This is an immensely important book...'»
Geoffrey Bindman, the Law Society Gazette, 11 December 2003
«'I pay fulsome tribute...to Abel's remarkable grasp of the subject... Anyone interested in the history of the English legal profession is ...indebted to him...'»
Michael Zander QC
«...Professor Abel's ... complex theorisation of the recent history of the legal profession is drawn from extraordinarily detailed source work. The result is a rich critical history which will prove invaluable for students of the English and Welsh legal profession. At the same time the fact that the analysis is set in the context of underlying social and political change renders it an important contribution to our understanding of the ongoing reconfiguration of state and citizenship.»
Dr Hilary Sommerlad
«...Professor Abel once again shows his absolute mastery of the subject area, of the background, of the theory and of the facts. This is a book for researchers, for serious students, for historians and policy makers and for practitioners with a view beyond the immediate. It will be essential reading for anybody who wishes to comment on a crucial decade in the development of the English legal profession...The final chapter brings an overall analysis with strong, unremitting and characteristic comment from the most important commentator on the English legal professional scene. No one can detract from the comprehensive majesty of the agglomeration or the certainty of its analytic touch.»
Professor Avrom Sherr
