Great for students in college who are taking a law class and for anyone interested in going to law school. A must read for those starting law school!

The case that forms the basis of this text, DeWeerth v. Baldinger, is interesting, but the rest of it drags. I was significantly bored, for example, during the somewhat repititious discussion of common law in chapter 7, though perhaps this is just the nature of the material. Making things worse, however, are the grammatical errors and typos. My conservative estimate is at least 30 errors, more than I have ever encountered in a published text. Some of them appear to be caused by a lazy copy editor using spellcheck ("We has a general household insurance policy...", pp. 227). Others are just ridiculous, for example, "impressssionistic" on page 193. They are quite distracting, and are sometimes downright confusing, making the task of being attentive to the dry material more difficult.

The case that forms the basis of this text is interesting, but the 'lecture' drags a little. The book is also pockmarked with an incredible number of grammatical errors and typos, upwards of 30 -- the most I have ever seen in a published text, ever. In some cases, the errors appear caused by a lazy copy editor using spellcheck instead of proofreading the text. Others seem blatant, for example, "impressssionistic" on page 193. In either case, they are incredibly distracting, making the task of being attentive doubly difficult.
