A Must-Have for Wills & Trusts Students,
By Siu (Atherton, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Emanuel Law Outlines: Wills, Trusts, and Estates: Keyed to Dukeminier/Johanson/Lindgren/Sitkoff (Paperback)
I usually don't use hornbooks, but I was stumped with all the Wills and Trusts material. I initially got the Examples & Explanations book, which was a HORRIBLE MISTAKE. It lacks even the most basic concepts. I then went for Emanuel's, which was keyed to our textbook, and it was a dream come true, especially the mini briefs.

Almost too comprehensive,
By
This review is from: Emanuel Law Outlines: Wills, Trusts, and Estates: Keyed to Dukeminier/Johanson/Lindgren/Sitkoff (Paperback)
Oddly enough, I feel that this outline was almost too comprehensive to be useful for studying for my T&E law school final exam. The detailed outline is close to 300 pages long, and attempts to address every possible iteration of the law of Trusts and Estates, including common/federal and state specific law, the Uniform Trust Code, the Wills Act and other areas. In my opinion, this shotgun approach made weeding out the law applicable in my area from the other chaff extremely difficult. If the outline were organized in a different fashion, i.e., where how the issues in this subject were collectively addressed by the form of law (e.g., all federal law issues grouped together, all common law issues grouped together, discussion of UTC grouped together etc.) this book would have been eminently more useful to me. The sad thing is, the content of this outline is extremely good and detailed. Its organization, however, makes learning that content more of a chore than it has to be.

Tracks the Casebook Perfectly,
By JMM (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Emanuel Law Outlines: Wills, Trusts, and Estates: Keyed to Dukeminier/Johanson/Lindgren/Sitkoff (Paperback)
This outline tracks the Dukeminier casebook perfectly. If you are using that casebook, do yourself a favor and purchase this outline. It summarizes the material to just the right degree. It's doesn't skip so much that you lose the important gist of the text, but it does skip the superfluous and repetitive portions of the casebook. Best of all, the case summaries mirror class discussions, which is often a rarity with commercial outlines.
