If you ever file or answer a complaint in California, this volume is an essential addition to your library. In a concise yet surprisingly thorough format, this publication sets forth the essential elements of hundreds of California Causes of Action. Defenses to many causes are also offered. Recently the publisher added a “cloud” version of the forms contained in the volume. This resource will save many hours in drafting complaints and demurrers and it is carefully researched with numerous case and statutory cites. This treatise is well organized, easily accessible and is a valuable checklist of Causes that can sometimes be overlooked. I heartily recommend it!
