Federal Jurisdiction, Fifth Edition (Aspen Treatise)

Erwin Chemerinsky

Aspen Publishers, Inc., 2007

Blown Away
This is quite simply the best study aid I've ever encountered for any class at law school. It takes what can be an extremely dry topic (Fed Courts and/or Fed Jurisdiction) and actually makes it an enjoyable read! My casebook did a very poor job of making a ...

James Bamford

Penguin (Non-Classics), 1983

Dateline, America, Dec. 19, 2005
