I'm usually concerned about purchasing items on line, especially books. I can honestly say that this experience was worth it. I would recommend this seller to anyone interested in purchasing good quality books at extremely reasonable prices. br / br /Buy with confidence, I did!

This book is an absolute must for law students or anyone engaging in the process of legal research and writing. I am first year law student and this book is my go-to for any question I have about the research process. This book was recommended for my course, but not required. So many law students only buy the required books. Some feel the supplemental material is just a waste of money. Don't make that mistake with this book, you can use it throughout your career.
 Terrible textbook November 23, 2007

I'm a paralegal student at a California State University and we used this textbook for our legal research class. This book provided virtually *no* actual information as to *how* to conduct legal research. It provided knowledge of the theory of research, and had an acceptable explanation of primary/secondary and mandatory/persuasive authority, but that's about it. br / br /The only reason why I came out of that class with any understanding of legal research was going to the local law library and having the librarians help me through it (and they were incredibly patient, helpful, and understanding). br / br /If you are in a class that uses this textbook, God help you. You will benefit far more by speaking to other students who might know about research, or just going into a law library and asking for help there.

I've used this book for the past few months and have been pleasantly surprised by how well it is organized, and how easy it is to understand. The author writes in a clear, straightforward manner and covers all of the pertinant topics.
