Customer Reviews

Fantastic
As a student of Business and having a limited acquaintance with law previously, I have to admit that this text is worth every penny. For those of us embarking on an entrepreneurial path, knowledge in the realms of torts, constitutional law, copyrights, cyberlaw, etc. is absolutely imperative.

The text contains recent cases, lower court decision, their backgrounds, abridged text submitted by the court and decisions made by the intermediate/supreme appellate courts. The authors present the text in a format not too difficult to read, but not easy enough to skim through.

Congratulations to Clarkson, Miller, Jentz and Cross for another fantastic text.

Everyone needs to read
There were a few sections of highlighting and underlining, but the text was still readable. I am finding this book very interesting. It contains a lot of information-a little overwhelming; however, gives a good overview of the principles of law. It is my favorite book this term. Most books I put back up for sell-I think I am going to keep this one.

Great Deal!!!
This was the exact version I needed and at a much lower price than anywhere else. Very thorough book and fairly easy reading (especially it being a law book). The cases are a great way to apply the concepts taught and they are interesting too.
