Customer Reviews

Didn’t get what I ordered.

I ordered this book and got a 100 or so page supplement from 1985. Literally… the copyright is from 1985 and the book says “1985 supplement.” Not sure how that helps.

Great Criminal Law Casebook

If you could call a casebook awesome I would use those words here. This book is great for outlining and it leads you through Criminal Law step by step. You'll be amazed at your deep understanding of Criminal Law when you finish with this casebook.

Great fun for the law hobbyist

I bought this book on a whim. For a long time I had been interested in law and wanted to see what studying it was all about. I don't think I could have picked a better place to start. From the word go this book delivered interesting cases with in-depth analysis at the end of each one. The analysis was especially helpful in picking apart the important points of law that the case represented. Now when I watch Law and Order and The Practice, I can tell my girlfriend about what is going on (in the legal parts) and sound like a total know-it-all, which is totally awesome.

Great 1st year book!

OK, 1Ls of the world...this book is organized very well for outlining. The text covers all of the areas of criminal law, peppered with interesting cases drawn from around the country, and really does a good job of giving the reader a variety of perspectives on the contentious issues that comprise criminal law.

Concise

For first year law students it is a must. Reflection on this book even for the most seasoned attorney is recommended as well.
