5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent book!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Federal Income Tax (Examples & Explanations Series) (Paperback)
Hello, I am a second year law student enrolled in a class on taxation. Professor Griffith is my instructor, and I have to say that this book is so clearly written that I did not once have to open up my $90 casebook. Examples and Explanations gives clear and concise real world examples that allow anyone (even people without a tax or business background) to understand both the black letter law and the public policy reasons for our tax code. EXCELLENT. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Nice supplement...,
By cybernery (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Federal Income Tax (Examples & Explanations Series) (Paperback)
I am taking a federal income tax course that uses a textbook which consists mainly of court cases.. and written in hard-to-understand "judicial language". We discuss the cases and go over the problem-solving questions at such a fast pace that sometimes I just blindly jot down notes and try to make sense of them afterwards.
This is where the supplementary comes in. The glossary neatly lists the various topics. There are introductions to the important code sections, followed by sample questions and detailed explanations. It helped me understand the more difficult concepts (which wasn't difficult at all) such as 1245/1250 recapture, disaster gain/loss, depreciation, and other calculations. While it does not include most of the court cases from my main textbook, some of the major cases are briefly discussed throughout. This book is no substitute for class attendance, but it did make studying run smoothly during exam week.

A must for a policy-heavy law school tax class,
By usclaw06 (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Federal Income Tax: Examples and Explanations (Examples & Explanations) (Paperback)
Clear and concise, helpful explanations. Great for a general tax course. If you are using the ..., Bankman, et al textbook, this is is MUST. If you are studying business tax (unless home/small business), this is not the book for you. Griffith rocks!!!
