2.0 out of 5 stars Editor is Factually Challenged, December 30, 2009
By 
This review is from: Domestic Violence Law (Textbook Binding)
Lemon, the editor of this work, has been engaged in a high-profile debate with philosopher Christina Hoff Sommers over the past six months regarding factual errors in this book. As a result, Lemon (a lecturer at Berkeley's law school) has publicly made a fool of herself by insisting on the historicity of Romulus as the "first king of Rome," and employing blatant logical fallacies to justify misrepresentations of statistical data in her book. (Most high school Latin students learn early in their studies that Romulus was a mythical figure fathered by Mars and suckled by a she-wolf, but Lemon stubbornly argued that Romulus was a real person who wrote laws authorizing men to beat their wives!) Lemon's unfortunate forays into the fields of ancient history and medical statistics have brought embarrassment to Berkeley and its law school.

1.0 out of 5 stars This Book Shouldn't Have Been Printed AT ALL!!!, July 29, 2011
This review is from: Domestic Violence Law (Paperback)
The Publishing Company Should Be ASHAMED That It Even Printed This Book, And They Should Fire The Editor For Gross Incompetence And Negligence. The So-Called "Author" Should Also Be Ashamed Of Herself For Writing A Book FULL Of Egregious Errors, Both In Her "Facts" And In Her History. She Is Either Completely Incompetent Or A Liar, But In Truth, I Think SHE IS BOTH...
