Product Description
This study aid features an innovative method of content organization. It uses a checklist format to lead students through questions they need to ask to fully evaluate the legal problem they are trying to solve. It also synthesizes the material in a way that most students are unable to do on their own, and assembles the different issues, presenting a clear guide to procedural analysis that students can draw upon when writing their exams. Other study aids provide sample problems, but none offer the systematic approach to problem solving found in this book.

 effective June 13, 2008

It is good for the purpose of learning Civ Pro as a 1L. Some hypos are good and others are questionable. But overall, it is good. Serves its purpose. I like Glannon's EE and MCQ better.
 Saved me During my Open Book/Open Note Civ Pro Fnal May 3, 2008
Meredith M. Williams (Atlanta, GA)
This book was a lifesaver during my Civ Pro exam, which took place yesterday. I have all the other supplements--Glannon Guide (good too), EE, Emanuel's, Gilbert's...the works. During the open book/note/everything exam I only really used this book. The checklists at the end of each section make it so easy to make sure you haven't missed an issue or just forgotten something. It is also an EASY READ...I can barely make it through 1/2 an EE before finals. I have never reviewed a book before EVER, but if I had not had this supplement yesterday, I would have cried on the last question regarding the ERIE doctrine. It is worth it just for the checklists and sample (short) answers alone. Hope this helps!
Great Alternative Study Guide! December 28, 2007

The detailed checklists are very helpful additions to any 1L's study guides. They help to organize the case law and black letter law into easy to follow flow charts, which show how each builds on the next. My only criticism is that, since the law constantly updates, the guide should be updated. There were some more recent cases that were not included in the guide.
Great for Exam Prep, Too Broad for Class December 22, 2007

Each chapter has a useful short review and checklist. The book was a great help near the end of term, when broad checklists became more important than minutiae. I'd recommend getting this along with a more classic commercial outline, like Clermont Black Letter.
Great for getting the fine points. May 2, 2006

The Glannon books (especially the Glannon Guide qa book) are more comprehensive, but when it comes down to the last week or two and you want to be sure you haven't missed the fine points hiding in the FRCP (and there are a lot of those) - this book is great.
