We were required to have the 2nd edition,which ended up being rather spendy. The book is the crux of our program so it's been useful, but definitely not ideal for an introduction to the legal system. I do appreciate how notes are discussed and questions brought up at the end of every chapter, but otherwise it's a pretty dense read.
