Title: NYS practice primer.
Review: Very useful as fundamental overview or refresher of NYS practice protocols with due emphasis on the prevalence and application of the CPLR in civil litigation, as well as how that omnibus statute is adjusted by or supersedes case law. Siegel is clear for the most part (though the syntax can be eccentric at times - his publications have their own style as readers of the NYS Law Digest know) and focuses on actual case prosecution in the court system, particularly in NYS's four leading judicial departments (1-4, of course). Consider carefully whether the sections omitted from the student handbook make the practitioner's volume a better choice.
Is the review positive or negative?
