Customer Reviews

Intro to Law--textbook

I found the book very informative and the price very reasonable considering a new book costs over $120 dollars at the campus bookstore. A used book is close to $90 dollars. I definitely found a bargain here.

Satisfied customer

I am totally satisfied with my purchase. It arrived on time, and in excellent condition. The seller took the time to wrap it sufficiently so that it arrived in great condition. I will order from Fishbein Mitchell again.

Classroom keeper

This is a great overview of the five main areas of law and a number of real-life legal relationships with which we all should be familiar. It also has good case studies and assignments. A teacher's manual is available. Most of my students keep the book rather than resell it; that is high praise for this above-average-price textbook.
