Here's what you get in every CrunchTime: A Capsule Summary of about 100 pages, summarizing all the key concepts in easy-to-read outline form. Exam Tips, drawn from our exclusive, painstaking analysis of exactly what has been asked on literally hundreds of past essay and short-answer law exams. Find out what tricks and traps profs actually put on exams - focus your studying on exactly what profs are likely to ask, not on the stuff that they don't care about! Flow Charts, a great way to analyze any problem in the subject. For instance, In Con Law, you'd start with a 6-page overview, 'How to Analyze Any Con Law Problem'. Then, you'd continue with separate Flow Charts on 'Powers of the U.S. Congress', Substantive Due Process', 'Equal Protection', 'Freedom of Expression', and much more. Over 100 Short-Answer and Multiple-Choice Questions, each with an extensive explanation - not just the answer, but why it's the answer. Complex issue-spotting Essay Questions, each with an extensive model answer. Learn how to spot the subtle issues. And how to argue both sides of a gray area.
Highly recommend it!!!!!In my opinion it is a very good source of supplementary information. The outlining is great and the explanations really do help. The cases that are discussed relate directly to the topic at issue and the main ideas of a particular case are outlined as well.

Emanuel does a nice job on the black letter law. Prefer his Crunchtime series for exam prep.
A Reduced Price for a Good Overview

I heard that this series is a cheaper alternative to the overpriced Emanuel Law Outlines. It breaks everything down quickly but doesn't make you feel like you should have paid more. It gives numerous flow charts and gives good exam tips. I recommend this if you can't afford Emanuel Law Outlines.
good supplement

the cards are a good supplement--in the line of so many supplements. If you like trivial pursut--you'll like learning with the flashcards.
Emanuel Civil Procedure

BUY OUTLINES FOR ALL YOUR CLASSES! THE BOOKS FOR CLASS ARE ONLY CASEBOOKS - THEY DON'T EXPLAIN THE LAW; THE OUTLINES DO! I have found this book VERY helpful. I will be purchasing a commercial outline of some sort for every class I take now. Emanuel's, specifically, is very good. I have no way of comparing this brand with others, since this is the only brand I have used, but nonetheless, I have been very pleased.
