Not worth it December 6, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Although this is one of the few supplements keyed to Dunoff, Ratner, and Wippman, it is NOT worth even half of its price. The lack of attention to detail is evident from frequent typos and malapropisms (e.g., "fragrant violation," "tortuous act"). Often, the briefs skip fact summaries, claiming that the "facts aren't in the casebook" even when they are. The case summaries are grossly oversimplified--even more so than one expects from these supplements. This oversimplification leaves out important nuances, making the case holdings wrong. And there are even patent errors--like how the "Quicknotes" repeatedly confuse the Hague Conventions of 1899 and 1907 with the Hague Convention on Service Abroad. The simplistic gloss of terms like "jurisdiction" and "war crimes" insult the reader's intelligence.
This book could be helpful if you need a reminder/refresher of the cases covered and some of their circumstances. Despite its problems, it covers all the cases and is mostly accurate--just don't expect too much of it and definitely don't rely on it.
