Boom Basisboek Recht textbook

Basisboek Recht is a prominent Dutch legal textbook designed primarily for vocational (MBO) and higher professional (HBO) education. It serves as an introductory guide to the Dutch legal system, covering essential topics such as civil law, criminal law, and administrative law. The book is authored by Lydia Janssen and is part of the 'MBO Recht' series.

The publication is managed by Koninklijke Boom Uitgevers (Royal Boom Publishers), a historic and independent Dutch publishing house founded in 1841. The brand is deeply rooted in the Netherlands, focusing on academic, professional, and educational literature. As an independent family-owned company, it remains one of the few large-scale Dutch publishers not acquired by international conglomerates, maintaining its headquarters in Meppel and Amsterdam.
