Customer Reviews: Great for teachingJuly 3, 2009 HG Consumer(New York, USA) I practice law, but not litigation. As part of a course I had to introduce students to litigation. This book is great for that. An easy read, raises lots of great issues, and goes all the way from facts to state supreme court appeal.
A well inflated case exceptJanuary 6, 2007 The Beltway Boy(Arlington, VA USA) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Can't wait to actually get a taste of the law? Heard that civil procedure is the make or break first semester course? This book has LexisNexis printed on the cover and tells the tale of your typical civil suit (which is and always will be a car crash) in detail and is a well inflated case excerpt starting at the preceding facts of an action and finishing at the supreme court's final verdict with plenty of pleadings and motions in between. Think you can skip over those questions at the end of each section? Do so at your own peril; my professors loved to raise the questions found in case books' note sections in class. Answering these questions will help you make the painful transition from ingesting the law to applying the law, try writing the briefest answer possible in the margin. 120 pages of the tedium you'll face your first semester.
