5.0 out of 5 stars Well written text and worth every cents of your money., August 12, 2007

This book is well written and provides excellent guide on the subjet. The text organizes in a clear and understandable presentation, and the examples and explanations provide in-depth discussion of key points. This book provides more info than the background needed for MPRE. However, this is not an drill book on the MPRE tests. You may get the drill questions from NCBE.

5.0 out of 5 stars Got me through the final, January 6, 2009

This review is from: Professional Responsibility Examples & Explanations, 2e (Paperback)

My legal pro professor was lacking in an ability to convey an understanding of the material. I spent a few days working through each applicable chapter of this book. It really taught me the material in a way that I could get a working knowledge of it. Unfortunately for me I only had enough time to read the text of the chapters and get a basic understanding of the material...and ended up with a B. I think with time to go through the examples and explanations I would have gotten the A. Gonna hold onto it for the MRPE.

4.0 out of 5 stars Puts those wordy rules into laymen terms, November 9, 2008

The PR rules can get overwhelming because they're so wordy and long. This series does a good job of putting it into plain language and gives really good examples. I recommend it.
