 Rating: - as described It was as described, the reason I gave 4 stars is that there are a lot of highlight marks. Other than that, great! Rating:  - Not Fantastic, but Usually EntertainingJust finished my 1st semester in law school and we used this in my Torts class. The book itself isn't bad, and at times it's downright funny.

By definition it is just a bunch of cases thrown together to demonstrate various areas of the law. But lately there has been a new trend in books for 1Ls... analysis. Sure, this book has "Notes" sections between the cases, but they are little more than hypotheticals or one-line versions of even more cases. What about some essays? Talk about the logic behind the cases or maybe mix in some Law and Economics theory. As a generic casebook this is quite good, but adding a little more ...
