The array of legal talent that contributed to the book was impressive. The topics dealt with key areas of interest to lawyers involved in brain injury cases. I assume it would be of equal assistance to those acting as experts and clinicians in brain injury. The book couldn’t deal with everything but overall it was quality over quantity.
