Fast Service

Ordered book Friday night, received email it was shipped Saturday, delivered Wednesday (from across country). Very satisfied!!!!

Wow, talk about concise.

This book is very concise and to the point. The text gives me what I need to know, and is easily understandable. This neat little book isn't a load to carry around, so that's a plus too. I must wonder why this small book is anything worth more than $50 though. However, it's a great and insightful book. Enjoy!

Evidence at its best

After having gone to law school and studying under a prosecutor I took this evidence course using this textbook from a retired Marine JAG officer and it was outstanding. This book is well written and it describes the laws governing different types of evidence. Whether it be verbal statements, hearsay, things said before or after arrest or other documentation, this book covers it all. It applies the laws of Search and Seizure and describes and applies the Exclusionary Rule (Fruits of the Poisonous Tree Doctrine/Derivative Evidence Rule). This book also explains and applies vehicle stops, arrest, and search warrant requirements. Taught by a retired Marine JAG officer and Asst Prosecutor made it that much better.

GOOD TRANSACTION

WRONG EDITION WAS SHIPPED ORIGINALLY, BUT THE RIGHT BOOK WAS SHIPPED QUICKLY AND THE CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS VERY RESPONSIVE.
