I'm done.
It's not a bad textbook, but the technology related parts are both lacking and repetitive. On the whole there is a great deal of repetition. That's not always bad in a textbook, but when it's in the same chapter it's just too much.

It's a good book...very well-written and detailed. It's not exactly a page turner but it gets the information across effectively.

This is the second Civil Litigation book I've had to read for my degree. This one was better than the previous one, simply because it was more current. The cases they use for examples help put the lessons into perspective.

This book was only used for testing purposes and now we are working on final projects via drafting documents as if in a law firm. Therefore, it was an okay read, not a favorite at the least.

Plan to return this borrowed book back to BOokRenter in a couple weeks.

Dull, Dry, how to book for those who want to learn how to prepare their own cases.
