Good for beginners, but....,

This review is from: Class Actions and Other Multi-Party Litigation in a Nutshell (In a Nutshell (West Publishing)) (Paperback)
If you want to read about class actions and have not read nothing about this theme before, this book is for you. The explanations are simple, but are good. However, I repeat: this book is for beginners. If you want something more complex about class actions, search for another book. The only point I would criticize is lacking of examples. I suppose some points are very difficult for a beginner to understand without examples, like the Rule 23 requirements applied to defendant class actions. Only because of this, I would not give a 5-star rating to this book.

This review is from: Class Actions and Other Multi-Party Litigation in a Nutshell (In a Nutshell (West Publishing)) (Paperback)
If you are taking complex litigation or another similar class, just buy this book. It will get you 90% of the way there. MY only regret is not buying this book sooner. When the next edition comes out, you might want to go with that one, though, because this book is too old to cover Walmart.
