This casebook is pretty straightforward - there are cases and there are occasional notes, but that's it. I'll let you know if I come across future casebooks that are like storytelling.
As soon as I master a language, reading it becomes easy. I remember one day Elizabethan English finally clicked into place about 3 weeks into my Shakespeare in Performance class while I was living in London, and after that, the language which kept killing me was almost as easy to read as modern English. It seems that legalese has become the same way. Weird too, because I'm really starting to write that way in my work e-mails, etc and I have to be careful not to sound too legal. :)
