Customer Reviews

A wonderful series

As everyone knows, stories are the most interesting way to present anything. I love this series of books. Not only does one understand the law a thousand times better with context, but I am much more likely to remember the case if I know the story. I have read this book and the book in the series on criminal procedure. I love law, and I intend to read all the books in this series eventually. It's like taking a course on the subject from the best professor. Of course with so many writers, the stories vary in quality. A couple of the writers achieved a boring presentation, even with a good story to tell. At least one writer had an axe to grind, but I still learned a lot from that one. The best recommendation is that I intend to read the whole series: they are that good.

Good Approaches

This book uses a series of key cases with detailed social and legal environment and background to provide a full picture of the subject. Fully agreed with the author's approach of studying fewer cases in detail to develop full understanding and development on the subject rather than studying too many cases attempting to grasp the development of the subject by bits.
