Introduction to Law Reviews

Henry R. Cheeseman's penchant for excellent presentation is easily recognized in Introduction to Law: Its Dynamic Nature. Together with accuracy and logic, Professor Cheeseman couples comprehensive coverage and visual effect... The author does an outstanding job of presenting the material... The consistent inclusion of ethics with chapter subject matter is a stellar feature... use of visuals is very effective... - Taylor L. Morton, member, California Resolution Dispute Council This text has better flow, more current, better grouping of topics... the chapter summaries are the best I've seen so far... - Adam Epstein, Central Michigan University I was most impressed by the emphasis placed on ethics and international issues... I also found the 'Working the Web' feature to be a terrific addition to the traditional text material... without detracting from the substantive chapter material. - Laura Barnard, Lakeland Community College ... the 'Cases for Discussion' feature is a very effective way to learn the legal concepts. - Stephen Pan, Las Vegas College
