Publisher offers free student access to basic texts

Publisher Bloomsbury Professional is offering all Scots law students free online access to six basic textbooks while they are forced to study at home during the COVID-19 outbreak.

The free online service will run until the end of this term and allow students to access textbooks including:

• Gretton & Steven: Property Trusts and Succession
• MacQueen & Thomson: Contract Law in Scotland
• Thomson: Family Law in Scotland
• Dewart & MacQueen: Studying Scots Law
• Himsworth & O'Neill: Scotland's Constitution: Law and Practice
• Guthrie: Social Work Law in Scotland

Karen Reid, marketing manager of Bloomsbury’s Scottish operation said: “At this unprecedented time, Bloomsbury Professional is delighted to support all law students across Scotland who no longer have access to their law libraries. We have rolled out our free Scots Law Student Service Online to thousands of students so they can access essential textbooks while revising for exams remotely.”
