At approximately 150 pages, criminal and medical law practitioners, consultants, professors, doctors, business executives and drug regulators will find this a crucial, but quick read.Bloomsbury Professional Insights provide guidance for legal and tax practitioners on developing, specialist areas or existing, complex areas where understanding is required after recent changes in legislation or court decisions.
