Being almost through with law school is kind of terrifying and disorienting. It’s like I had this huge security blanket of constant, dehumanizing feedback wrapped all around me, and now the universe is trying to take it away. But it is mine!
All I have left is one final and a couple of days of work. But, my job is totally not dehumanizing and is actually kind of fun, so it doesn’t feel like a security blanket. What comforts me destroys me, which is slightly different than the quote Angelina Jolie's tattoo, or from Marlowe or whomever, but I'm making it my own here, so calm down. Again, mine.
This book was fine. It is the textbook for my last class in law school. I’ll tell you about evidence in my review of the code book.

I highly recommend this book. Unlike most of the law schools books, this book is practical, written by experienced trial lawyers. The Practice and Example section in each chapter is very useful and helps you understand the materials really well. The only con: It would be great if the book/CD includes the answers of the exercises or citation to the real cases.
