McCoubrey & White's Textbook on Jurisprudence: NCS P

Great content and good condition

Terrible and very difficult to comprehend. Possibly aimed at academics, certainly not at new law students. Expects you to have some prior knowledge to the subject of jurisprudence already, not ideal if you're learning jurisprudence for the first time. Uses unnecessary complex words which complicates an already complicated subject. It left me feeling very upset and even more confused than what I was before I picked up the book. Not good or helpful at all. It's a shame.

excellent study guide

Excellent as described, thank you.

would buy again

Jurisprudence being a subject that a lot of law students struggle with, reading this textbook will only help to end that struggle in that it will make death seem a sweet alternative. The style of writing makes the content -- which is all there -- ten times more difficult to understand than it should be. It is written like an answer to an exam question whose author hasn't taken the recommended ten minutes reading and planing time before putting pen to paper. The authors jump around from topic to topic and repeatedly say that the importance or meaning of something 'will be revealed a little later', a writing device that may provide well-needed suspense in a mystery novel but only serves to deepen the mystery of jurisprudence here. It would amaze me that such badly written and unhelpful textbooks continue to be printed, updated, and recommended to students if it wasn't for the fact that the authors are professors at my university that endorses it so glowingly.

This book although informative as it intends to be, will not be useful for those new to the subject of law. I myself find law (although difficult) interesting, alongside the way my lectures are presented, and the books that we are encouraged to read. However, by far, this has been the worst book i have ever come across. Many of the jargon, i am familiar with, but it would be entirely helpful if it would just go straight to point rather than throwing overly complicated and unnecessary words. I am a reader myself and i aim to read a book -even though it is not the very exciting chapter to begin with-hoping that the book may get better. But as i have said, this has been the worst yet. If you have a lot of time on your hands, VERY enthusiastic about the slur of jargon used by academics, this may be for you.

Used this for my Jurisprudence class, this book is very dry and not an easy read. If an extended Glossary of Terms was included, it would be most helpful. Not all bold typed terms are defined in simplistic terms. The supplier was fast and efficient delivery.

Although Amazon will gladly sell you a Kindle edition, good luck actually getting it onto your Kindle reader - it is not compatible. It kind of defeats the purpose of buying a Kindle version to read while on the go if you have to read it on a PC using the Kindle app . . . order the hard-copy instead.

Easy to follow along with classroom lectures... I would recommend this book any day.
