Really pretty fascinating. Haven't actually read the entire thing cover to cover, it's huge, but will continue to read. Lots of interesting cases and well-presented material. The only textbook I currently have that I actually enjoyed reading.

It was a lot to learn in 10 weeks

Like every current textbook, this book sufferers heavily from useless information and practices. What do I mean by that? Anytime a book references a website URL with multiple forward slashes "/" not only does it look terrible, but they are normally useless after a year or so.

It's horrible practices like this and the greed of PEARSONS publishing that forces a new edition out almost every year, re telling the same information and mixing up the example problems so students are forced to have current editions.

The content of this book is adequate, no where near the price of $150 though. The publishers and writers of modern college textbooks most likley have a special spot in Hell.

Don't expect this book to make you a lawyer, it is essentially a compendium legal principles for non-legal professionals, so that you can make better decisions and not do stupid things. The basic thing the homework assignments teach is that courts to not administer justice, they administer the law. Don't expect fair results in disputes and assume the best when taking risks as a manager in other words.

[Von Sowards]

A very dry book. It is written in a legal voice which makes it very boring. The useful side of it is that it is thorough description of it principals. The author first explains the principal, then gives an example and then puts the definition in the margin
