Not what they used to be
I used to love the High Court Case Summaries series.Unfortunately, the new version does not include outlines at the beginning of each chapter.

Hands down best supplement I've bought
I used legalines and casenotes my first two semesters; this one is far superior. It has great chapter outlines, and the case briefs are right on. The analysis sections for each case impressed me too--they usually hit on the same stuff my professor talked about in class. Additionally, if you're a visual learner like me, you'll find the pictures helpful in remembering the cases. ... Read more

In response to thereview about "spelling errors"
I am in Government Contracting and this book is very informative and can be used as a ver good tool.
Needs Editing
The book is certainly packed with a lot of valuable information, and I suggest purchasing it if you plan on writing any government proposals, or managing government contracts.Just be prepared to filter through a lot of bad editing, spelling errors, sentences that make no sense, incorrect wording that render the sentence incorrect, and, at certain times, words that do not exist.For example, the word "definitized" appears many times; and I don't think the government has ever "estopped" invoking ceiling price limitations.

Applies to all businesses, but especially consultants
This book is applicable to all businesses and industries, but my review is from the perspective of an IT consultant.In my profession we've all signed a nondosclosure agreement at one time or another, and we frequently make presentations or provide information that discloses trade secrets, or business-sensitive information to clients and potential clients.Read more

Glad I Bought This For Class ? Very Useful
I bought this book for a course I'm taking about the music business and after reading it, I'm so glad I did. It's an easy read since it's broken into several chapters...each about a particular musician or group. The chapters tell the story of a legal battle or a deal gone terribly wrong. It illustrates the pitfalls that lay before artists when it comes to publicity, trademarks, estate planning, merchandising, copyright infringement, royalty claims, publishing, bankruptcy, and so much more. I particularly enjoyed the stories about Elvis Presley, Billy Joel, The Beatles, and Judas Priest. A terrific addition to your personal library.

So sue me!!
Nothing says "big business" like a good lawsuit or two... and here's a book that's full of them.Whether it's Billy Joel suing his brother-in-law (who was also his business manager), the Shirelles suing George Harrison, the Beatles suing each other, or some hick parents suing Judas Priest for "causing" their kids to commit suicide (even though they came from physically violent homes), it's all fun and games in the rock and roll courtroom.Most of these are fairly well-known cases, but Soocher's light-handed style lends itself to a quick read.He doesn't get hung up on minutae, and keeps the narrative down to a minimum (although conversely, he also has a genteel streak wherein he sometimes alludes to lurid incidents without fully explaining them, which can get irksome...) Censorship comes up in a few of these cases, but mostly it's all about money, money, money, with a little concern for intellectual property thrown in for good measure.Oddly enough, I found George Michael's lawsuit against Sony to be one of the more interesting chapters in this book -- maybe just because it was one of the least familiar cases.At any rate, if you want to keep your illusions about showbiz intact, you might wanna veer away from this one.If, on the other hand, you're curious about what makes a multi-million dollar contract tick, then snap it up.

Good
A better book that deals with rock legal/economic matters is ROCKONOMICS. A lot, if not most, of the Beatles stuff, for instance, that are in this book are in that book, but better written. Nonetheless, this book had stuffI hadn't known about before, and it confirms what Pete Townshend said in"Rolling Stone" when it was pointed out to him that he had beenfriendly with a lot of English aristocrats, "Aristocrats are supposedto be real sh**s. But I don't think I met even one who was a real sh**.Whereas, in the music business, I could introduce you to a THOUSANDsh**s! " This book is a good study of those types. ... Read more
