This book is clear, concise, and informational. Although it explains the theories with examples, there are not many cases or actual opinions. As the title entails, it is merely an introduction to the legal field. The only thing that bothered me was its description and for-shadowing of the concept of importance in the law. Although it consistently refers to the concept, the book doesn't explain it until later in the book, and even that explanation wasn't satisfying. I relied more on other sources to understand what the book was trying to say. Regardless, I'd suggest this book to anyone thinking about law school.
