This is an excellent and innovative textbook. Instead of just teaching you about concepts, the author has actually incorporated the concepts into entertaining stories. So, instead of just reading about the courtroom work group or challenges in court, you get to see these concepts in action as you read stories about key courtroom players (lawyers, judges, defendants, etc...). Each key vocabulary word is put in bold so that you can recognize it when you read it. In addition the words, not the definitions, are listed again at the end of the chapter, just in case you missed one. I am graduating this summer, so this is one of my final classes. I have never enjoyed a textbook so much. I wish all textbooks were written in this manner. It has been a tremendous way for me to learn and has helped me to retain information. I highly recommend this book to any criminal justice teacher who is looking for a refreshing change or interesting addition to their classroom or to anyone who has an interest in just exactly what goes on inside the criminal courts.

I got my textbook on time for class. The price of the textbook was very reasonable.

I Just finished reading this book and Love it! I like how the author used fictional stories to take us through the criminal justice system. There are many aspects of the courts that most people don't learn unless they have experienced them, this way you learn like you have beed there. I will recommend it to everyone!
