TLDR
In this article, the authors discuss the issue of adjudicative competency and a sufficient way to measure it, and present an introduction that discusses the basic issues comprehensively, but the book does not flow well and readers will find themselves turning from section to section to make sense of what is being discussed.Abstract:
parts containing information from articles published previously. Because the book does not flow well, readers will find themselves turning from section to section to make sense of what is being discussed. Given the amount of technical and legal information in this book, it would be better if there were more of a straightforward delivery of material. Students and professionals alike would be able to understand more fully if there were an introduction that discussed the basic issues comprehensively. Aside from this concern, the book is a wealth of information. This book currently is the definitive work when it comes to the issue of competency and a sufficient way to measure it. It is a must read for everyone concerned about the issue of adjudicative competency.read more
