5.0 out of 5 stars Completely surprised by how good this is., December 18, 2007
By 
R. Shecter (Portland, OR USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Finding the Law, 12th Edition (American Casebooks) (Paperback)
This was a required book for my legal writing class, and I expected it to be superfluous - after all, there is plenty of other documentation for research, LexisNexis, Westlaw, etc.

But this book turned out to be a gem. The writing is good enough that I stayed reading through it at times even though I had looked up what I needed to. Content-wise, the book is an excellent introduction to the law, and the first half should be read the week before law school starts.

Style-wise, the authors are intelligent, they don't insult the reader, and they have a sense of humor as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Legal Writing Text, September 23, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Finding the Law, 12th Edition (American Casebooks) (Paperback)
This book was ordered using prime shipping.
The book arrived promptly in perfect condition.
The description describes this book as hardcover, but it is a paperback and I have only ever seen this book in paperback.
Saved over $30 ordering from Amazon instead of school bookstore!
