2.0 out of 5 stars Worse Edited Law Book Ever, December 10, 2011

By

This review is from: Sports Law: Cases, Documents, and Materials (Aspen Elective Series) (Hardcover)

As the title indicates, it is a very badly edited book. The cases are not edited to clearly relate to the underlying topic. The summaries preceding the cases are wrong. There are typographical errors scattered throughout the book.

The only positive aspect regarding the book is its size. Unlike most law school books, all its information is been compacted into a mere 693 pages.

Professors of Sports Law: If you must assign a book, please spare your students from having to pay over $150 for a book that should belong in the half off section.
