What's The Verdict?: You're the Judge in 90 Tricky Courtroom Quizzes

Rating:
Summary: Great for all ages!
Review: I bought this book for my 13 year old because she has become interested in law, but I think my husband and I had more fun with it! Simple to read, easy to understand. Definately a good book for kids!

Summary: No discussion -- just the answers!!!
Review: We were so disappointed in this book that we returned it to Amazon. I am an attorney and purchased the book for my gifted 12-year old brother. It was very age-appropriate in terms of level of writing, but the book only gives a sentence or two of the facts of the case......and then just the trial court and appellate court verdicts on separate pages in the back of the book. The book provides no discussion and no explanation at all -- just the court verdicts! Without any knowledge of the law, it will be very boring for most people. (The answers are listed by # in the back of the book, with trial and appellate court decisions on different pages, so looking up the very brief answers also can be a chore.) All in all, very disappointing. Fun idea, poorly implemented. Cannot recommend this book for anyone, of any age or education level.
