This product is great for filling in your outlines or getting the main points to quickly prep before the exam!

I found administrative law extremely confusing and this book really helped. By the time I took my exam I felt like I had a good understanding of what I needed to know. Great book! I had the older 2003 version and it was completely sufficient for a 2007 exam.

I'm the victim of a largely incomprehensible 100+ dollar leather-bound casebook for a law school course - a book that does nothing other than reprint information that is available free elsewhere and cruelly refuses to synthesize its 1056 pages of information overload, as some sort of pedagogical strategy. (If interested, see the item I reviewed on 12/04/07). I wonder if the copy-and-pasters who compile casebooks (and usually don't deserve to be called "authors") realize that they've created a thriving industry of study guides brought to you by practitioners who actually care if you understand the material. I've dabbled in other types of law study guides and have found that at least for Administrative Law, this CrunchTime installment delivers the most bang for the buck. Since this field of law is mostly procedural, the CrunchTime flowcharts are a godsend for the thinking student, and the capsule summaries do an outstanding job of describing basic concepts, all delivered with an efficiency of which casebook compilers are genetically incapable. This book is certainly not a substitute for whatever your professor requires, but as a study aide you may not be able to live without it. [~doomsdayer520~]
