This sixth-edition text is designed to be user friendly and engaging, the authors having taken care to choose interesting cases and to edit them with students in mind but without over simplification. Building on the previous editions, the text is distinguished by documents from actual cases, chapter summaries, problems presented early in the chapters to stimulate thought, sections on improving the system through consideration of current problems and proposed changes, and supplementation of federal materials with comparisons to California and Texas practices. The four authors are affiliated as follows: David Crump (U. of Houston), William V. Dorsaneo (Southern Methodist University School of Law), Rex R. Perschbacher (U. of California at Davis), and Debra Lyn Bassett (Southwestern Law School). Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) Read Less
