What a casebook should be

I took a course with Prof. Carnell some time ago in banking law and this was the casebook we used. Of the many casebooks I used in law school this one was one of the best. It makes what might seem a complicated subject easy to understand, and more importantly (in my opinion) it doesn't skimp on history while learning about the current state of the law. Unlike most casebooks, this one was actually a pleasure to read because instead of just being a collection of cases and statutes, it provides a decent narrative putting everything in context.

Thumbs up!!

This book is my bible. It is perfection itself. It is the most up to date resource of its kind, and of any kind. The author is a god. Please call him Zeus, all of his friends do. I do not know the author, but he is one of the voices in my head. If you read the book backwards, you will find inner peace. Buy it
