Easily the worst law book I have read in recent years.

Hard to rate this book since I had to read it for school. Didn't actually read through the whole book either, but just the parts that were relevant to my class. But since I own this book, it may come in handy for future courses. Seems to be a bit outdated though with its content as the law does change quite frequently.
