5.0 out of 5 stars very solid supplement, May 17, 2006

This review is from: Contracts (Emanuel Law Outline) (Paperback)

I bought this outline and also Gilbert's contracts outline, and this one was better in several important ways. One that sticks out in my mind is UCC provision 2-207, which relates to "battle of the forms," which is one of the most difficult topics to master in Contracts. While the surface-level issues may be apparent to everyone, the more subtle implications are not covered well in Gilbert's or in the official comments in the UCC (despite substantial text). If you don't know 2-207 extremely well going into your final, you should be worried at a minimum. Emanuel's treatment of this and most other topics is quite good, and it is consistently better than Gilbert's for Contracts.

This review is from: Contracts (Emanuel Law Outline) (Paperback)

I have bought many many supplements, but these Emanuel Outlines (and this one in particular) are the best. By the best I don't mean give you the best in-depth understanding of the nuances of the law and how we got to it, but certainly a comprehensive overview of everything you could be tested on.

Using this in conjunction with your casebook will help get you adequately prepared for class and for your exam.

I give this book as strong a recommendation as possible.

This review is from: Contracts (CrunchTime) (Paperback)

During my first 6 weeks of Contracts, I believed that my professor was speaking a different language. He had recommended the hornbook of our textbook to us. I have no idea why I thought a hornbook written by the same people who wrote our textbook would be helpful, but I tried to understand Contracts by reading it. It didn't help. This book did. It simplified everything for me and with it, my class notes and my professor's lecture were deciphered. I love this book and I wouldn't part with it for the world.

One of my classmates bought this book as well as the "Examples and Explanations" book on Contracts. She thought this book was much better.
