5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, January 31, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: American Law And Legal Systems- (Value Pack w/MySearchLab) (6th Edition) (Paperback)
This book has detailed information that is not to overwhelming. The author does a good job of breaking down the material so it can be understood. It is a great book for someone who wants to review the American legal system and it also serves as a great book for someone studying the American legal system for the first time.
