[John Yelverton]

If this book really taught you how to do legal research, I'd support it; but instead, it teaches you how to do legal research the way the authors want you to do legal research. Not a fan of micromanaging authors.

I am done with this book! Yeah! I am sure some people find it useful.... but I just found it to be a waste of precious homework time.
