Book Reviews of Legal Analysis: The Fundamental Skill

Book Review: Great resource
Summary: 5 Stars

I read this book twice in my first four weeks of law school and I believe it is a helpful resource for a first year law student. The book is well organized and easy to read. The authors do not simply present information, but include exercises at the end of each chapter to help students reinforce materials presented. The book does not waste any space, it is very concise and to the point. I think I've learned more from this book than from some assigned textbooks for my legal methods class. The authors present a structural writing technique for legal writing (CREAC), but also include a wealth of additional useful information. It teaches students fundamental techniques of legal analysis that students need to succeed in law school. Additionally, for first year law students, who have not employed legal writing before, this book is very helpful in all aspects. I think the authors definitely had the right audience in mind when they wrote the book. Many first year law students can benefit by investing their time and money in this book.
