Re: COMMON 0L QUESTIONS books, study guides, E&Es, studying,etc
So...I have the E & Es for my classes as well as the Emmanuel's for the classes, and the first year's questions and answers. I plan to get any Legalines that I can, although looking at the casebooks there's only one that corresponds.going to finish GTM before school starts.
Any holes in the aides or is it just a matter of putting in the work now?

My teacher gave us the Barnetts Con Law as our textbook. I purchased the Emanuels Outlines like she told us to do, but it does not seem very specific to what I am learning in my book.
Can anyone recommend a supp that would be specifically geared towards Barnetts Con Law?
Thanks!

Here is an outline that may help

For a Constitutional Law Supplement Get Constitutional Law: Principles And Policies (Introduction to Law Series)
By Erwin Chemerinsky the 2006 edition is available used for around 15.00 but the newest edition is around 70.00

Do the E&Es typically keep the same examples or at least examples with very slight variations from edition to edition? Or, do a lot of the fact patterns materially differ while covering the same topics?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Here's a book for 1Ls that helps you learn how to take a law school exam: http://www.aspenlaw.com/product.asp?cat ... 1454806079
It's called Open Book, and it's written by a Harvard prof and NYU prof. They give lots of test-taking tips and tell you what professors want to see on exams, etc.
Also, you can go to the book's website (http://openbook.wolterskluwerlb.com), which has lots of free videos and excerpts of practice exams.

Hello,
My laptop just broke and I am trying to decide which would be better to buy to use for law school and such.
I am debating between one of the apple laptops and the new IPAD.
Does anyone have any suggestions or insights.
EDIT - From the sounds of it I should go with the laptop - does anyone know which would be better, the Apple air or the macbook pro.

I just received my legal writing assignment and the book I should buy for the class. Since orientation is not until August, should I buy the book and do the reading now? Should I wait until July? We don't receive our full class schedule until the end of July.

trying to get ahead is a useless exercise. expend your energy elsewhere.

Re: COMMON 0L QUESTIONS books, study guides, E&Es, studying,etc
If i'm planning on getting a commercial aid for a class (i.e gilbert's property), is it worth getting the E&E just for the questions or is it going to be mostly overlap? My initial thought is I won't need 2 commercial outlines per class but I was wondering what everyone else recommends. I was planning on getting a E&E for every class but is it really necessary if there's a better supplement for that class?

There are a few cases that 3rd ed. won't have like McDonald v. Chicago (2010), but I strongly suggest you get the 4th edition, you won't regret it.Virgil777 wrote:Do you think there will be any major differences between Chemerinsky's Con Law third(2006) and fourth(2011) editions?

http://www.lawschoolfundamentals.com provides really good 0L prep I think. Also does it using videos which is nice.

IS the fact that the E&Es havent been updated in so long a problem? The Glannon E&E for Civ pro is pretty old. The one for Torts is as well, if I remember correctlyhijodehombre wrote:There are a few cases that 3rd ed. won't have like McDonald v.
