    Explains some really difficult concepts in plain English, as the NoLo books tend to do. Uses examples at every turn to enhance understanding. Seems to cover just about everything. As such it does not go in depth on any given concept. Great addition to my somewhat eclectic library. Have yet to go wrong with NoLo

    5.0 out of 5 stars The text for my course goes into a lot of case law that would be useful to attorneys but not so much for paralegals

    B.R.H. · February 21, 2018

    I am currently taking a course in criminal litigation as part of my college's paralegal program. While the textbook in the course is acceptable, I wish "The Criminal Law Handbook" had been chosen instead. I think the handbook is much more concise and covers what I actually will need to know if I enter the criminal law area. The text for my course goes into a lot of case law that would be useful to attorneys but not so much for paralegals.

    B. · August 7, 2020

    Keeping it simple professor with a clearly written explanations of criminal law none of which was taught to me in law school. The Nolo books are great for new grads or seasoned attorneys working in a new area. Plus Nolo offers on-line updates.

    5.0 out of 5 stars So you need to learn the law

    C.J. · April 13, 2022

    NOLO only seems to be capable of producing quality books. Even after spending over 6 years in prison I still learned new things from this book. Worth the time and money if you need to help in your own defense.
