Legalines: Contracts: Adaptable to Eighth Edition of the Dawson Casebook

I found this book immensely helpful for briefing for class. It doesn't take the place of reading the casebook material, but helps to clarify the big picture, particularly if you're having trouble understanding a case. I also used it as a topic guide when I started outlining -- the expanded table of contents works perfectly as a guide for your outline, especially when you're a 1L and you're not really sure exactly how to DO an outline. However, be careful if you use it to study -- I found a few inaccuracies in the material. Mostly they involved switching the Restatements around, and giving you the wrong number. Other than that, it's a good inexpensive book to help get you through the first year.

A necessity for any 1st year law student, Legalines Contracts for the Murphy casebook is a godsend for students. Beside outlining each case in the Murphy casebook and making complicated fact patterns crystal-clear, this book places all the cases in outline form. Students can read the cases in context of the entire course, connecting how each case fits into an overview of Contract law. Easy to read and filled with only necessary detail, this book is a must for any student using the Murphy casebook.
