 Disappointing 2008-11-26 |
| By DroppinKnowledge |
Coverage-wise, the book does a good job.
However, the book reads as if English is not the author's first language. Very difficult to divine the meaning when you first must translate poorly written sentences into something understandable, then proceed.
As other reviews have pointed out, the organization makes reading this book a chore. Most topics are handled in the following fashion:
"Common law does X; The modern approach is the exact opposite; States Y and Z do their own crazy thing."
Although that is the nature of the subject, it becomes difficult to retain when categories are not precisely drawn (i.e. separate sections for separate approaches.) The information is certainly in there, but page after page of flip-flopping around between approaches leaves you wondering what was what. |
 Tracks the Casebook Perfectly 2008-08-26 |
| By JMM (Chicago, IL) |
| This outline tracks the Dukeminier casebook perfectly. If you are using that casebook, do yourself a favor and purchase this outline. It summarizes the material to just the right degree. It's doesn't skip so much that you lose the important gist of the text, but it does skip the superfluous and repetitive portions of the casebook. Best of all, the case summaries mirror class discussions, which is often a rarity with commercial outlines. |
| Excellent if you are using the Dukeminier casebook 2008-04-16 |
| By Philip T. Mccollum (Leonardtown, MD United States) |
| The outline simply follows the Dukeminier casebook. This book does a great job at getting the black letter law out of the casebook. It also does a good job at identifying common legal issues that arise out of the black letter law. If you use the Dukeminier casebook this book is extremely helpful. Also it has a lot exam type questions and answers that are extremely helpful when preparing for an exam. |
| wicked sweet outline 2007-12-14 |
| By Lazy 3L (Hooksett, NH United States) |
| I picked up this review for T&E because as a 3L, I don't like reading my casebook at all. Needless to say, I fell behind in what is a very complicated course, not hard, but a lot of material. This outline only helps, however, if your professor sticks to the book, which mine did thankfully. Extremely well organized and easy to digest. I've seen other emanuel outlines and haven't liked them as much as Apen's Ex. and Expl. series. But this one was very good. If you have to take T&E, I recommend reading this one. |
| good overview, though lengthy 2007-02-07 |
| By LB (Minnesota) |
| I bought this book after realizing there was no way I'd have time to outline for all my courses last semester. The beginning gives a good short overview. For more specific details and explanations you can look at the rest of the text. It was especially helpful because it was keyed to the casebook used in my course. |
