Summary

This book was created as a ?teacher?s book??a book that contains thought provoking problems designed to stimulate thought and produce interesting classroom discussion. The problems are woven throughout each chapter and are designed to help students learn doctrine, illuminate trends in the law, and ultimately produce better learning. A secondary goal was to include a focus on ?teaching skills.? Some of the problems place students in practical situations that they are likely to encounter in practice, and therefore encourage students to think about how they might handle these situations.
