Absolutely required reading for trial lawyers
If you are a trial lawyer and don't have this book yet, you are missing out.David Ball is incredibly gifted in conveying his message as briefly and directly as possible.The first edition of Damages changed the way I prepared and handled cases.The second edition is even better.Highly suggested reading.

A must read
I have waited months in anticipation of David Ball's new book on damages.His first edition revolutionized how cases should be tried. It was a must read for all attorneys in my office. His updated book has surpassed all of my expectaions. This edition has new chapters, more trial tips and even greater insight.

Great Quality
The book arrived ina timely fashion and I would definitely buy my textbooks through Amazon again

Almost Painless Public School Law
This Sixth Edition of American Public School Law is a comprehensive treatment of noteworthy public school case law that also serves to outline the history of our country. It's user friendly, while not lowering the bar for comprehension. Legal lingo is left intact, but translations are offered for those of us who are reading it for School Law classes, as opposed to Law School classes. There's a useful glossary, and a handy index for locating specific topics, and the cases that illustrate them. This is a book you'll want to keep.

Public School Court Cases
I ordered the book for my graduate class. It contains landmark court cases and rulings dealing with public school issues in all U.S. states. It is a great source for public school administrators and basically an easy read for those who have never had a law class.

Another very fine, but disturbing book about the problems with 'the two party system'...
Fact: The US of A was actually founded with
Interesting, vital book
I first saw the accusations in the book on a half finished Yorkshire television documentary that never made it to television. The allegations were so horrific in the film; it near enough reduced me to tears. So shocked at the material in the film I had to read the book. Sadly the book documents episodes that are far more disheartening than the film did.
Corruption In High Places
Lawyer and former state senator John Decamp's book can't be easily dismissed as a wild conspiracy theory, given all the evidence presented in the book and the solid reputation of many who believe in the crimes and the cover-up. One victim of abuse comments that this corruption must stop because next time it could be your kid. Not for the faint of heart, the book covers many grisly details of satanic ritual murder and torture of children by prominent members of society and a subsequent cover-up orchestrated by law enforcement and the press. I believe the problem will grow worse if you let people who are supposedly here to protect us and keep us informed abuse their positions of privilege, trust, and authority for their own gain or security. We might have to start limiting the amassing of great wealth and power because people who get a great amount of wealth and power think that they can get away with anything. And so far, they have.

Good solid book for both lawyers and educators.
This book is a must-have for educators. Since the push for inclusion means many students with disabilities are entering regular schools and classrooms with their peers, it is of great worth that the regular teacher as well as the special education teachers know the background of the laws that pertainto these students with diverse needs. It would be beneficial to bothstudents, teachers, and parents to know and understand how the laws areapplied in court, what an IEP is, what is expected of the teachers, andwhat can be expected of the students. I have the other major law books ondisability laws, but this one is more geared toward other participants inthe process besides lawyers. It is very readable and very understandablewithout having to go to law school to get a background in law first. Isuggest this or rather recommend this to my friends and students who areinterested in working with those with disabilities in regular schoolsettings.

Interesting...for a textbook
This was an interesting textbook.I almost decided to keep it for future reference.Some of the material did not go into the depth I would have preferred, but it was still a really good read for a textbook.

Actually Enjoyed Reading This One
This text was actually enjoyable to read most of the time.There is a lot of good information, and the presentation makes it easy to digest.It is still a text, and there is a lot of information.Still, when compared to most textbooks, this is among the best for both coverage of the material and ease of reading. ...

Ellis Island: Ghosts of Freedom-by Stephen Wilkes
THIS IS THE BEST PHOTOGRAPHY BOOK I HAVE EVER SEEN. THE PHOTOS AND THE COLORS ARE SO EXTRAORDINARY. THIS BOOK WILL BE MY HOLIDAY GIFT I SEND OUT FOR 2006.

Ellis Island: Ghosts of Freedom
Stephen Wilkes is a wonderful photographer and he makes the gritty details of a run down part of Ellis Island into a moving, dramatic and beautiful experience.It is powerful and also haunting and compelling you to walk in his foot steps. The images are technically exquisite.It is an inspiration to see the routes of our ancestors.

I think there are better books to use
This book is not for the person just getting an intiation into school law.It is too condense and only gives blurbs of the verdicts in each case by quoting the appellate and US supreme court judges which are oft times convoluted, the author leaves out an indepth explanation of the nuts and bolts.I refer to this book as the Reader's Digest version of school law.Also, the print is microscopic which is really hard on the eyes.

How good can it be?
...The book is well-written and contains important informationrelevant to school personnel, but it does not come in a titanium coverwith gold leaf pages.Can a student get a break?END

Well written about case subject

Excellent - Best Contracts Supplement Out There
This review is for Emanuel's outline, not Crunch Time (though Crunch Time for Contracts is also excellent). This is the best Contracts supplement out there and probably the best Emanuel's outline as well (rival = Emanuel's on Con Law). VERY thorough (almost like a hornbook in this respect). This is what you need for Contracts. Someone sent me this by accident after I had been using Gilberts for a few months. I thought I didn't want it because I already had Gilberts and some other supplements, so I put it on the backburner for awhile while I used Gilberts. Then I started taking a look at it once every so often when I was still confused after reading Gilberts (and other stuff). I started to realize that this book was much better than Gilberts, so I put Gilberts on the backburner. (Gilberts is good, but this book is much more thorough and just better overall.) One of the most necessary law school supplements.

very solid supplement
I bought this outline and also Gilbert's contracts outline, and this one was better in several important ways.One that sticks out in my mind is UCC provision 2-207, which relates to "battle of the forms," which is one of the most difficult topics to master in Contracts.While the surface-level issues may be apparent to everyone, the more subtle implications are not covered well in Gilbert's or in the official comments in the UCC (despite substantial text).If you don't know 2-207 extremely well going into your final, you should be worried at a minimum.Emanuel's treatment of this and most other topics is quite good, and it is consistently better than Gilbert's for Contracts.

good overview
I like the Emanuel Outline because it spells out the rules for you and what you need to know.I read the cases, then go back and read the section it relates to - its really helpful for class if you get called on, and for preparing an outline.I have tried 2 other types of study guides - I find I like this format the best. ...
