The pamphlet is one issue of the PROBE series which gives British secondary school youth an overview of social issues and suggests questions for discussion. Information and issues about law and justice in England and Wales are discussed in this issue. Section one explains the differences between criminal law, which is enforced by the police, and civil law, which is enforced by the courts. Section two reviews sources of law, including traditional legal books, court decisions, legislation, and citizens' votes. Section three explores the role of Parliament in making legislation which influences daily lives. Areas such as seat belt regulations, drinking age limits, and minimum age for leaving school are studied. Law in industrial relations is concerned with issues of the power of trade union organizations and worker representation on boards of directors. In areas of personal justice, the law is concerned with male/female equality, racial equality, and homosexual rights. Section four reviews areas in which the legal system needs reform: the penal system, the legal profession, and making the law comprehensible to the average citizen. (AV)
