[Shelby · Rating 3 out of 5]

Disclaimer: This is a 3/5 on the casebook scale, not to be compared to the rating system I use for books that I read for joy (rather than for grades).

Pros:
- Some truly wild cases
- Short and snappy explanations of concepts
- Thought-provoking questions in notes

Cons:
- Too much economics (triggering)
- No answers to thought-provoking questions in notes (I’m expected to supply those??)

Note: I read the 9th edition (not available here for review)

ya know, not my favorite

Gonna have to rate this as a case book scale, not a regular book. But this was by far the most engaging one of the semester. Fun and interesting cases (Palsgraf) throughout, but that may just be torts in general. Also had good notes cases.

*9th Edition
It was digestible enough

Yes, I am taking credit for my law school books.

[Adrienna]

After watching videos on law school, 1L students, and those who will attend law school for the first time recommended not to read this material since it will not make sense to you until you go! Therefore, I only found myself highlighting the book on terms when it is more than just detailed information but how these terms can be exemplified for a future cases, or looking at past cases in law school. Therefore, I will pack the book back in safe keeping until future use.
