If you're interested in following in Mark Thomas and Michael Moore's footsteps, I strongly advise you to check out Avizandum. \n\nThe only independent bookshop devoted to law, it has weighty tomes on everything to do with the law from practice and policy making to media and trade. It also has specialist books on lots of different areas from homelessness and immigration to Scottish law. As most of the books are academic and published by University of independent presses, prices are pretty steep but to paraphrase Foucault 'knowledge is power.'\n\nNot being a budding law student, most of the books in Avizandum are too specialist for me. If I have some spare cash however, I may go back and buy Bonfire of The Liberties; a fascinating book looking at the corrosion of civil liberties and the growth of police power and state surveillance under New Labour.
