[Katherine]

no I did not read every page of this book but it definitely counts towards my total for the year. actually a fairly decent casebook, I liked this case, but 3 stars for the general suffering of school

[tristin]

once again...no way i'm not counting this.

[Juliana]

Not a gripping tale. Pretty sure this gave me an anxiety disorder, possibly IBS. Use it to press dried flowers or keep drafts of that novel you were working on until you decided to “make something of yourself” from blowing away, and quit law school while you’re ahead. Life is whimsical and here for your pleasure and wide-eyed curiosity, except for this book, which is made of a unique type of black matter, the gravitational pull of which only attracts joy. If you don’t understand its contents, you are normal. Congratulations. Rejoin society - it’s not too late.

kicked my butt

[erin]

is it plausible that i read this whole thing

[Alexis Burns]

Maybe the firehouse in Fahrenheit 451 had a point

[MJ]

Sometimes ok sometimes pretty interesting. Very dense for seemingly no reason

[lore]

to be fair, i feel like it is really hard to enjoy civ pro and find the material interesting & easy to understand so my low rating may literally just be because the class was so impossible for me to understand. i just found the writing super dense, dry, & difficult to understand. while i know that civ pro is a difficult class & that obviously the concepts will be hard to comprehend, it would be nice for such a core, first-year class to be explained in a more simple, accessible manner, especially given how intimidating civ pro can be as a class.

First case: Sniadach v. Family Finance Corp. 08/25/22

Final case: Commissioner of Internal Revenue v. Sunnen 11/29/22

[Felix Jones]

Fascinating stuff. Would be interesting to see if it works the same with people or if this stuff is limited to railroad companies and manufacturers.

[Anaanya]

Guys I don't care if this doesn't count I am still logging it

[Irina Kebreau]

This must be the slowest and the most tedious account of civil procedure. When I need to fall asleep, this book is always sure to deliver. I've been struggling with it for months! It is a good thing I am not reading for a class

[Steven]

Civil Procedure is never fun, but I thought this book was fairly informative.

[Pete]

I enjoyed all the civil rights cases. The whole line of process cases was a bit dumbfounding, though.

[Jeff Brenner]

You really should read the fine print when you buy a cruise ticket. It's totally binding.
