 Not the best case law Book September 27, 2009
Aaron M. Diamond (Houston)

The book regrettably is not organized well and brakes the cases up in a fashion that makes them almost impossible to read at times. To truly get a good use of this book you had better have the Lexis Nexis at your finger tips. A brief at the beginning of each case would help greatly.
Did not comply with "Like New" label January 9, 2010

The book is FULL of highlighting. In a 1700 page book, barely 20 pages go by without multi-colored highlighting and entire cases will be completely done. There aren't many notes in the margins, but I could ignore those more easily.
I purchased a book that had "some highlighting throughout." One of my other books also said that and it was true - there was only SOME throughout the book and it isn't so distracting. This however, was an unfair use of the phrase, or I never would have bought it. This is the kind of book that you pay next to nothing for because you don't care about serious highlighting. However, the premium I paid for a gently used book is much to high.
 Deliberately picked by Professor because alternative was too easy March 31, 2010

This book is the most confusing text book I have ever attempted to read. Footnotes are separated into two categories, letters and numbers. After almost an entire semester of Con Law in law school, I still don't know why some are letters and some are numbers. Cases are broken into multiple parts and placed sporadically throughout chapters. Every law school text book I've had so far, I can pull information out of, but for some reason, not this one. If your professor is using this book and you have the option of taking it with another, do it.
Worst law school casebook to date April 3, 2010
Katelyn L. Konecny
I truly hate this book, it is awful. I don't think that sentence expressed my anger at this horrible book. The topics make little sense, there are no definitions. It is not clear always when a large case begins or ends. The notes are jammed together, have no discernible topic, and are way too long.
Please professors, do not assign this book!
