LexisNexis Butterworths has published in September 2010 a very interesting book containing a collection of the most important lawyers’ cases, named Cases that Changed our Lives.

The book has seven chapters and each of these contains legal essays of a certain practice area as:

• Public law (Dr Bonham's Case - Andrew Goddard QC and Marie-Thérèse Groarke, The Factortame Litigation - Dr Jo Hunt etc.);
• Land law (A right to resist? The Trial of Dr Sacheverell - Dr Craig Rose etc.);
• Criminal law (Legal insanity: the enduring legacy of Daniel M'Naghten's Case - Jeremy Dein QC and Jo Sidhu etc.);
• Civil law (Legal celebrity or jurisprudential substance? Caparo Industries plc v Dickman and other - John Randall QC etc.);
• The right to life ("How ... the deceased came by his death ... ": R (on the application of Middleton) v West Somerset Coroner - Dr Karen Widdicombe etc.);
• The state and terrorism in the twenty-first century (The state and terrorism in the twenty-first century etc.);
• Family law (Is it that simple? Stack v Dowden and buying a house together - His Honour Judge Stephen Wildblood QC etc.).

The book is focusing on cases which had and still have an impact for our lives and remains a must-read book for legal practitioners as also for the law students.
