Reviews / Votes

"The English Language Common Law Workbook is excellent in taking complex concepts; breaking them down into manageable parts; explaining them; and then providing reinforced learning opportunities through thoughtful, interesting, and contemporary exercises. The book is clearly based on a deep understanding not only of law, but also how students learn about the law." * Beth Greenwood, University of California Davis School of Law * "I've yet to come across a book like this that really gets at the differences between common law and civil law countries. The English Language Common Law Workbook not only accomplishes this, but does so in a very user-friendly, student-centered, active learning way with excellent scaffolding. In addition to being a book that a teacher could use to teach a course, it's also a great resource book for teachers to have on hand to incorporate into their curriculum." -- Stephen Horowitz, Georgetown Law "Appropriate for those unfamiliar with the practice of law in a common law country, this workbook provides a self-paced masterclass in strategies useful for reading and writing about common law in English-speaking countries. Professors Collins and Brody then offer students the opportunity to assess their mastery of the covered topics through a series of thoughtful exercises based on simplified but authentic real-world materials. Well done!" * Katherine Butler Brem, University of Houston Law Center * "This workbook offers an invaluable resource for understanding the principles of common law through the English language. Combining practical exercises with clear explanations, it provides a solid foundation for students and professionals alike to master legal terminology and reasoning. A must-have for anyone engaged in legal studies or practice." * Burcu Doenmez, Yasar University *
