Law is often a sea of words—complex and inaccessible.

If the labyrinth can be skilfully condensed into a visual, the reader can quickly see the picture, its design and its features.

In this book, the author taps on his spatial inclination and instinct, and shares from four decades of analysing and presenting law and teaching a range of subjects to a wide spectrum of participants. He shows how the adroit use of visuals can greatly assist in understanding the law.

The author introduces readers to the world of visuals and explains what is involved in visualising law. He then examines the wide range of purposes for which visuals can be used for law, such as to itemise, categorise, depict facts, show process, depict development, analyse change and propose a new framework.

Visualisation makes the study—and understanding—of law easier, and more enjoyable.
