Indeed, it has become increasingly clear that those functions enable law officers to play a highly influential part in the regulation and exercise of public power throughout the United Kingdom. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMcCormick argues that the most persuasive framework for analysing the offices which make up this diverse regime involves concentrating on the constitutional values of independence, accountability and trust which underpin it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBoth aspects of the book - namely the explanation of individual functions and the conceptual analysis of collective legitimacy - are written in a holistic way which encompasses critical analyses about the Attorney General and Solicitor General for England and Wales; the Counsel General for Wales; the Lord Advocate, Solicitor General and Advocate General for Scotland, as well as the Attorney General and Advocate General for Northern Ireland.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Conor McCormick\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1509944117\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781509944118\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/14\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d","brand":"Conor McCormick","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44128179093759,"sku":"9781509944118","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bb1ee8cc-91ed-4817-91b3-176035be65eb.jpg?v=1687457372","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-constitutional-legitimacy-of-law-conor-mccormick-9781509944118","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
