About the Book
Conveyancing is designed for trainee solicitors studying applied land law on the Professional Practice Course in Ireland and will also be of benefit to practitioners.

References are also included to forthcoming reforms. The principles of conveyancing practice are clearly explained, making the book an essential reference for both trainees and practitioners in the field.
