1.0 out of 5 stars worst casebook i've had in law school
going into my final semester of law school, this casebook is undoubtedly the worst casebook i have read. it lacks any kind of organizational structure - there is no logical connection between cases and the section in which they appear. if your instructor is using this casebook, good luck . . . my best advice is to try to convince your professor to use a different casebook.

1.0 out of 5 stars Worst legal textbook I've read, July 26, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Regulation of Lawyers (Hardcover)
I hated this textbook. I found both the writing and the organization to be confusing. The subject matter itself is a lot simpler if you learn it without reading this book.

Most legal textbooks contain a series of edited cases with some exposition. I found that while this textbook contains some cases, it mostly follows the patter of posing hypothetical questions followed by a loosely connected string of case summaries with no transitions. I think the problem is that the author doesn't utilize a separate section of note cases like most legal textbooks. So instead of having a neatly ordered list of varying tidbits, you have a lump of tangential information.

5.0 out of 5 stars Whose rights, whose interpretations of law?, January 26, 2011
By 
Patricia B. Ross (Wellesley, MA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Regulation of Lawyers (Hardcover)
Ethics looms very large in the training and practice of law because of the fact that it is lawyers who are required to work with the concepts of law that are imposed upon, or created for, the people of the nation, and it is lawyers who are expected to apply that law in the performance of their duties.
Therefore, concepts of law and their interpretation necessarily is required to be interpreted by lawyers within the confines of the Constitution, and not interpreted for self enrichment, immunities that are inconsistent with their purpose, and that uphold the Constitutional rights of citizens, not conceptualized for the convenience of lawyers and their clients. Who interprets law depends much upon whose law is being interpreted. In America, that is supposed to be citizens - not the State of DE, or the business clients of lawyers on retainer, or the ALS, and such organizations that are successful in lobbying Congress to pass biased law for the convenience of the entities who expect to use that law to harm the interests of U.S. citizens, or citizens of other countries. Law and ethics go hand in hand, or not at all, one being irrelevant to the other.
