Hard to read.

This book is an "introduction" there is too much law jargon in it for the beginner to understand. A forceful read also.

Introduction to Law & the Legal System

I have used several editions of this work over the years and found it very useful but the publisher lets students access ready-made case briefs from the text on their own webpage thus undercutting one of the most important pedagogical reasons to have an Intro to Law work. I contacted the publishers and they insist that this serves some other purpose -- I thought the purpose of an academic text was to serve the needs of pedagogy. It serves the purpose of making me, a long-time user of this text, to turn away from it until the publishers get some sense of the needs of professors everywhere who do not wish to dumb-down expectations of their students.
