I can't comment on the materials gathered by the editor, as I have not read the book, but instead happened to notice something about this title when a student was using it in connection with a mid-term. He had to find several cases mentioned in the text, identified only by "U.S. v 'party A'," "U.S. v. 'party B'" etc. and was expected to tell what each case was about. However, the instructor had not furnished the student a list of legal citations for these cases, and the book itself has NO table of cases. Since we found them to be U.S. Supreme Court cases, it was fairly simple to find them using the table of cases in West's Supreme Court Digest, but it would be troublesome if other cases are from scattered jurisdictions. As a matter of convenience for readers, I would strongly recommend that future editions contain a table of cases with complete legal citations to ALL cases referred to, so that readers wanting to find mentioned cases can do so without having to waste time trying to find what the cites are for each one.
