Great for Law Students,
By
This review is from: Legislation and Statutory Interpretation, 2nd ed. (Concepts and Insights) (Paperback)
I bought this book to help with my Legislation class. If your main text was the Casebook by the same set of authors, you definitely want this book as a companion. Most of the class got this, though the professor had not mentioned it, and we were all glad we did.
This book covers the same material in the casebook, but in a much more straightforward, easy to read fashion. Reading this book is where the lightbulbs go off and you understand what you are supposed to be getting out of the Casebook reading. The authors also bring in cases from the other Legislation/Statutory Interpretation casebooks, so I'd think it would be helpful if you're using one of those, but I can't speak to that personally. But this book was a tremendous help. And because it's short and easy to read, it can be used in the last week or two before your finals, or as a supplement throughout the term. Highly recommended.

Fantastic Law School Supplement,
By
This review is from: Legislation and Statutory Interpretation, 2nd ed. (Concepts and Insights) (Paperback)
The textbook that this book supplements is very confusing. This supplement condenses the material and re-organizes the concepts in a more linear fashion. Recommended to any student who uses Eskridge's textbook in class.
