Seminal work in the field,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mass Tort Litigation: Cases and Materials (American Casebook Series) (Hardcover)
A must for anyone interested in this emerging field. Professor Mullenix sets a new standard for scholarship. This will be the standard reference for many, many years to come

Mass Confusion is more to the point,
This review is from: Mass Tort Litigation: Cases and Materials (American Casebook Series) (Hardcover)
The description by the publisher of a "seminal" book in the field is laughable. Well, if by seminal, he means the one and only case book on the subject. Other wise the book is about as helpful as most legal case books, which is not very. Of course the legal profession has a high thresh hold for worthless and confusing and poorly written text. Just wade into legal scholarship sometime and see if you don't find most of the writing incomprehensible, obtuse, circular, etc.Now the law in this area is more often than not confused and convoluted, but Mulenix' minimal explanatory text in no way clears up the subject for the hapless student. If you are unfortunate enough to find yourself in a Mass Torts class, then this is the only text available. Be afraid, be very afraid. Unfortunately the subject matter is too eclectic to have attracted the attention of the "commercial outline" publishers. So you are on your own here. Rue the day you picked Mass Torts as an elective. My advice: skip this book and the class. Stick with upper level courses that will be tested on the bar.
