Customer Reviews

First-rate, down-to-earth exposition
I am baffled at the negative reviews. Maybe those reviewers were trying to get a quick fix the night before the final. Anyone who disparages the book because it requires them to look up the statute, or because the author has neglected to key it to their particular casebook, is too pampered to be in law school, or to be a lawyer.

A diligent student who uses this book through the course will find it clear, concrete, and immensely useful.

Not very useful
I'm not interested in reading this book from cover to cover, but there isn't any other way to get information out of it.
1 - The table of contents doesn't list the chapter subsections, making it hard to figure out what chapter contains the information I want.
2 - No table of cases! Every law reference book should have one - there's no excuse for it being missing.
3 - Pathetic index - only 2 pages long. I almost never found what I was looking for.

If you are interested in reading the entire book front to back, it might be useful. If you want to read a bit at a time to supplement your casebook as you go through the semester, you will be frustrated.

thankgoodness!
Looking up the statutes was helpful & it is important to read through the explanations of all the answers to understand a particular statute or statutes. I found the analysis in the hypotheticals very helpful since his answers are exactly how our professor wanted them to be - "open ended". And yes, I did well!
