Review: Examples & Explanations: Evidence, 8th Edition

User Review  - Benjamin - Goodreads

It's not the worst E&E I've ever used, but it's certainly not the best. The chronology is weird, and the while the examples are numerous, the explanations are weak. This book needs a heavy dose of case law. Read full review
