Ian Leigh and Roger Masterman are, respectively, Professor of Law and Lecturer in Law at Durham University. Both are members of the Durham Human Rights Centre.
The breadth of the project is the book's main strength. It provides
an excellent one-stop-shop for those wishing to obtain a detailed
overview and evaluation of the Act, of its impact upon English law,
and of academic commentary…Leigh and Masterman succeed in their
objective of providing an excellent account of the extent to which
Convention rights have been brought home in the first decade of the
Human Rights Act.

The writing is lucid. The authors are experienced and knowledgeable
in the field, and while their work is scholarly, the text is not
overburdened.

...[includes] a wide-ranging survey of the Act's effect on private
law covering privacy, contract, employment and property law.

Making Rights Real should appeal to a range of audiences as it
contains an accessible outline of the HRA and discusses the most
important cases that have arisen in the subsequent jurisprudence,
both of which will be illustrative for new students of human rights
law in the UK, and yet it simultaneously manages to develop more
scholarly ideas of constitutional reform that will be of interest
in a more academic forum.
