Law and Society (8th Edition)
"The organization is phenomenal."  -Robert Gainor, Esq. , Granite State College        "This book wins out over the competition because of its scope and thorough and accurate treatment of topics and ideas."  -Carol Thompson, Texas Christian University     "The textbook is quite appropriate for undergraduates and for one semester courses!the language is clear and simple; examples are numerous, classical and current; and the topics are well organized in sequence and content."  -Gloria Lessan, Florida State University     "This is one of the great joys of this book. It is so well and clearly written that it could be used in High school, college or law school. It is not overly pedantic or highfalutin. Some of the texts that I have reviewed for this course are too academic and you have to be conversant in their 'language' to understand it. Not so with this great text. This book is very readable and my students have commented on this point. It is very informative and to the point. One problem with these types of texts is that they are overly theoretical; not so with this text. This book could almost be a practitioner's guide. What I mean by that is that I have over 15 years experience as an administrative law judge, law clerk and prosecutor and this book reflects the reality out there."   -Robert Gainor, Esq. , Granite State College     "The approach and perspectives presented in the text work well across different teaching approaches-I have experimented with different ways of teaching the class- discussion based, lecture based, and combo. The text works well for all of the forms."  -Carol Thompson, Texas Christian University--This text refers to thePaperbackedition.
