So far very helpful. I was hoping that there were actual forms in it. However, they did have the intake form which is very critical in any case, especially personal injury cases. I am happy with it.
This is the best torts book out there for a paralegal program. I'm actually re-writing my entire torts curriculum based on the format and content of this book. I love how the intentional torts discussion is laid out with an analysis of each separate element. I am going to use the book in my litigation class too because there is an entire section on reviewing medical records. The appendix in the back with all the medical abbreviations is so helpful for those of us without a background in that area of law. This is a fantastic book that I would highly recommend!
This publisher needs to get authors that know how to write. Been forced by the school to buy these books and each one of them is bad.
Came just as posted. No marks. Good shape. Content looks good also. Will be utilizing this book a lot . Great purchase
Great! but it would be better with a disk of forms...
