Nevertheless, while orthodox in themselves, Professor Neubauer utilizes all three conceptions adroitly, producing a serviceable undergraduate college text. Professor Neubauer compares federal to state judicial process and, notably, attends closely to differences among the states. I also suggest to them that obtaining viable answers to these queries becomes more difficult, and prospects of definitive answers grow less likely, as one moves from description to evaluation. Part IV is the text's centerpiece. Accessibly priced, this text is accessibly written.
Chapter sections are clearly sign-posted and track well.
Each chapter contains a brief conclusion, a section identifying key terms, references and sources for further reading. Professor Neubauer makes effective use of graphics in every chapter, presenting information in readable tables and figures. His discussion is larded with pithy quotations drawn from classic works in Public law and Judicial Politics. Professor Neubauer's selection of topics is thoughtful. He bases his inclusion and organization of topics on a sensible conception of the legal system that he explains in his first chapter.
