Customer Review: I really enjoyed this, as well as the first, book of actual legal transcript excerpts. I only wish the book was larger, with more of the delightfully scary expressions of judges, counsel, and witnesses! Three stars are awarded for the price v. amount of laughs.

The book does not include in full cases such as Eisenstadt and heavily edits many important cases. Boerne v. Flores is a bloody mess to read and will confuse those... more info
