Reviews

[B · Rating 2 out of 5]

It's not quite a casebook. It's not quite a series of essays. It's kind of in a no man's land.

The essays themselves don't really add too much. It's really an overtheorization that I think does little to engage the actual practice.

Probably more examples of the elements of the different statutes and causes of action would be useful.
