.Evidence Examples & Explanations, 6e (Examples & Explanations)
City Travel Guides > Books > Procedures and Litigation
by: Best

February 21, 2007
This book is really, really good. Much like Glannon's E & E on Civ Pro, but to a lesser extent, Best takes a seemingly complex subject and makes it very simple. I was suprised by how easy evidence turned out to be.
For evidence, case law isn't enough. This synthesizes the case law rather nicely.

.Civil Procedure: Examples & Explanations 5th edition
City Travel Guides > Books > Procedures and Litigation
by: Joseph W. Glannon

January 01, 2006
I recently finished my first year at a top tier law school. This book did so much for me. If you are serious about getting good grades in CivPro, I think you should seriously consider this book. It forces you to understand the concepts and work through the rules, which is vital to doing well on exams. Don't stress about exams. This will help you.

.How Judges Think
City Travel Guides > Books > Procedures and Litigation
by: Richard A. Posner

April 30, 2008
I would agree with many of the reviewers that this is Posner at his finest. Although I tend to be skeptical of his articulation of pragmatism (especially via his selective use of economic theory), I found that this book really destroys the false binary that posits a clear split between activist and legalist judges.

Going beyond that, Posner also takes clear aim at the legal academy for mistaking the stated reasoning in legal opinions as the cause of a particular decision, rather than its effect. He makes it abundantly clear that legal scholars have lost connection with the judiciary and potentially the legal profession as a whole.

However, I can only give the four stars because the book desperately needed a good editor. ... Read More:

.The Dirty Dozen: How Twelve Supreme Court Cases Radically Expanded Government and Eroded Freedom
City Travel Guides > Books > Procedures and Litigation
by: Robert A. Levy, William Mellor

May 01, 2008
Only a libertarian, or the authors' mothers, will truly agree with all 12 of the Supreme court cases featured in "Dirty Dozen." So what. It is thoroughly fun to read. As stated early on in the book, the authors picked the 12 worst cases decided since the New Deal, the period they define as the modern era of eroding freedoms and of government expansions. Most cases also have a "dirty dozen honorable mention" case to hold hands with it's main "dirty" case. They explain how the cases were selected, and the substantial legal assists they asked for and received in making the selections. Commendably, the authors prefaced their book with a legal expert who did not fully agree with their picks - how often does that happen!

.A Civil Action
City Travel Guides > Books > Procedures and Litigation
by: Jonathan Harr

August 27, 1996
Jonathan Harr has written a classic true story which if you were a person who reads novels would embrace it as a great novel. However, it was not fiction and it really did happen. Jan Schelichmann was the lawyer who made it happen. His relentless attack on W. R. Grace and their army of lawyers are a thing of legend.
What happened in Woburn Massachusetts in the late 1960's and into the 1970's was the contamination of the water supply. Hence the people in that town suffered from the cancers caused by the enterprises such as W. R. Grace and these people wanted justice. In conclusion these companies were indeed guilty. This action did indeed effect the people of Woburn MA..
However the very essence of the story is that Schelichmann expended ... Read More:
