Summary: Simply Not Enough
Comment: I generally like the CrunchTime series but was really disappointed by this one. The capsule summary is quite simply insufficient. Unless you're taking a one credit admin law course I see little value in this study aid. Don't get me wrong, I understand that brevity is key for these types of resources. You're probably looking for a fly-by aerial view with just the basics. This, however, is more like a view from space... deep space.
The only things saving this from one-stardom are the semi-helpful flow charts. Sorry Crunchtime, but 'Admin Law in a Nutshell' is the way to go for this topic.
Customer Rating:
Summary: very helpful
Comment: I found administrative law extremely confusing and this book really helped. By the time I took my exam I felt like I had a good understanding of what I needed to know. Great book! I had the older 2003 version and it was completely sufficient for a 2007 exam.

Summary: It's Starting to Make Sense
Comment: I'm the victim of a largely incomprehensible 100+ dollar leather-bound casebook for a law school course - a book that does nothing other than reprint information that is available free elsewhere and cruelly refuses to synthesize its 1056 pages of information overload, as some sort of pedagogical strategy. (If interested, see the item I reviewed on 12/04/07). I wonder if the copy-and-pasters who compile casebooks (and usually don't deserve to be called "authors") realize that they've created a thriving industry of study guides brought to you by practitioners who actually care if you understand the material. I've dabbled in other types of law study guides and have found that at least for Administrative Law, this CrunchTime installment delivers the most bang for the buck. Since this field of law is mostly procedural, the CrunchTime flowcharts are a godsend for the thinking student, and the capsule summaries do an outstanding job of describing basic concepts, all delivered with an efficiency of which casebook compilers are genetically incapable. This book is certainly not a substitute for whatever your professor requires, but as a study aide you may not be able to live without it. [~doomsdayer520~]
