Whaley has been given nine awards for outstanding teaching from three different law schools.

After retiring from teaching, Whaley wrote a novel called "Imaginary Friend," which is an atheist thriller (new genre). He is immodestly proud of the novel, which is available on Amazon.com.

3.0 out of 5 stars Anyone... anyone... Bueller?, October 14, 2005
This review is from: Contracts (Sum & Substance Cd's "Outstanding Professor"Series) (Audio CD)
I have two S&S sets, Contracts and Torts. The difference is night and day. The Torts CDs are dare I say it... fun! The Contracts CDs are sooo dry and boring as to make them almost unlistenable. It's almost like listening to someone read from a textbook. I gave it 3 stars because some people might be looking for that type of "just give me the facts" approach. But my preference is for an entertaining listen that makes the CDs fun and memorable. You will NOT find that here.

3.0 out of 5 stars Could be so much better..., November 24, 2004
By 
This review is from: Contracts (Sum & Substance Cd's "Outstanding Professor"Series) (Audio CD)
Having listened to the CD's multiple times, I regretably have to agree with the reviewer who says Whaley's mind is elsewhere. Over and over Whaley seems to forget what he's talking about, and struggles to find a simple word. His knowledge is evident, but the delivery is substandard. There appears to be little to no editing of this recording.

To Whaley's credit, he does deliver several "nuggets" of lawyering tricks to hang on to for general practice. They're interesting, but offer little relevance to the general topic.

I have not yet listened to any of the other subject related Sum & Substance CD's, but do intend to give them a try. I can't say Contracts was a waste, but it could have been much better.

I would recommend taking a look at Flemings Fundamentals of Law, a great series of exam-prep tapes and videos, and have heard that the LEWS (Legal Exam Writing Workshop) series is excellent, but that is purely second hand information.

Best of luck

1.0 out of 5 stars professor's mind is elsewhere, October 10, 2004
By 
legalfreak (New York City) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Contracts (Sum & Substance Cd's "Outstanding Professor"Series) (Audio CD)
Usually I am a fan of the Sum & Substance series, but this one is very weak. In the beginning it is very obvious that Whaley's mind is somewhere else, he is correcting himself constantly (I wonder why the publisher sells it this way instead of editing it) and often you lose him because he is straying totally off the topic. Later on in the lecture he is getting better, but covers every topic only very lightly. You can only follow him if you know a lot about contracts and then you don't need the CDs anymore.
