The longevity of Professor Vile's book attests to both its quality and utility. It is an excellent compilation organized in a uniquely valuable manner. Succinctly summarizing each of the seminal cases in terms of the facts, question, decision and reasoning is very useful as both a teaching tool and for quick reference. It is easy to understand its popularity.
