4.0 out of 5 stars
Very helpful bare-bones blackletter guide,
This review is from: Emanuel Law Outlines: Criminal Law (Paperback)
I find Emanuel outlines in general to be great. I found the crim outline in particular useful for its very simple and thorough presentation of crim blackletter. My professor often offers either his own gloss to prevailing majority rules or the theory behind them - this is great for establishing the baseline in American criminal law.

Not up to snuff like most Emanuel outlines,

This review is from: Emanuel Law Outlines: Criminal Law (Paperback)
This was my least favorite supplement. However, people using a different casebook Criminal Law: Cases and Materials than me have found it useful. The hypos (questions) at the end of each topic were very useful, but there were no flowcharts or checklists other than a few "tips" at the end of each chapter. It is organized the same as other Emanuel outlines, with a condensed outline, a more in depth outline and then some exam questions at the end. Crunchtime is identical except for the in-depth outline.
I would suggest looking supplements up in the law library and reading a few sections. I used Understanding Criminal Law when Emanuel and my casebook Criminal Law: Cases and Materials didn't cover the topics well. I only began using Casenote Legal Briefs Criminal Law: Keyed to Kaplan Weisberg & Binder 6 Ed (Casenote Legal Briefs) near the end and really wished I had used it from the start. Emanuel just didn't cut it like the keyed versions, but Casenote and Understanding got me through. I found Siegels Criminal Law: Essay Multiple Choice Question Answer 2009 (Siegel's Series) far more useful and wish I had used from the start. Also Acing Criminal Law was useful for brief info when outlining and working through outlines. The checklist/flowchart format is remarkably useful.

Great for review and fundmentals,

This review is from: Emanuel Law Outlines: Criminal Law (Paperback)
This text provides a sound foundation for students beginning the study of Criminal Law. While many of the Criminal Law courses for undergraduates are narrowed down versions of the original cases, this text provides students with the ability to read cases from the original source. This merges the law along with the social expectations held for law and resulting policies. I use this text to encourage a critical analysis of law and all the actors who impact upon our Nation of Laws. I highly suggest the use of Law and Society by Vago as a companion text.
