A favorite classroom prep tool of successful students that is often recommended by professors, the Examples& Explanations series has been ranked the most popular study aid among law students because it is equally as helpful from the first day of class through the final exam.
New to the Fourth Edition:
- New chapters on common law and on writing conclusion sections in persuasive documents
