"The casebook is aimed primarily but not exclusively at the United States market, and can be unhesitatingly recommended to students and those who organise their courses there, but equally it is far from devoid of appeal for those teaching in other jurisdictions, who will find much in it that valuably supplements what the standard textbooks offer." -Andrew Serdy, University of Southampton
