Product description
You need timely, relevant, and substantive information on emerging trends and issues. Construction Law Digest is a monthly service that keeps you abreast of the latest court decisions, complementing your subscription to Construction Law with perspective on how current decisions impact your case.
Facts, Holding, and Reasoning -- Construction Law Digest gives you a precise summary of the facts before the court in each case, the court's holding and the reasoning behind that holding. Each summary is keyed to a section in Construction Law, so you can quickly reference the treatise for further information on the topic. The cases are read and digested by construction law experts -- so you have access to information you would not find by scanning headnotes or using key systems.
Practical Advice -- In addition to summaries of court opinions, Construction Law Digest features ViewPoints, providing you with the valuable insight of experts. This advice takes the form of practice-oriented remarks on court decisions, trends in the industry, drafting practices, and other matters you need to understand for your practice.
