Book Reviews of Understanding Criminal Law
Book Review: Average Criminal Law outline - but a useful tool to help encrypt Dressler's failure of a textbook
Summary: 3 Stars
The book itself is not really that great. Some law students might think it is a good outline because they haven't seen the other outlines that are out on the market. In reality, you would be better off with an Emanuel or Gilbert criminal law outline.
However, there is ONE situation and one situation only, that it would be a good idea to buy this book. If your hapless Criminal Law professor made you buy "Cases and Materials on Criminal Law" by Joshua Dressler, then this book can come in handy. This book is keyed to Dressler's textbook. Without this book, understanding Dressler's unorganized philisophical chaos is near impossible. This book makes some sense out of some of the concepts that Dressler failed to explain in the textbook (or purposely made confusing so that you would have to buy "Understanding Criminal Law").
In fact, if it wasn't for the danger of being called on and asked to summarize a case from the textbook, I would recommend that you buy this book INSTEAD of the textbook and save yourself a hundred bucks.
