I purchased Set I of these, as well as the cards on Torts to help me get through my 1L experience. Now that I am in the second semester, and we are moving into some of the more complex subject matter, the Set II cards are an incredible study aid. They WILL NOT stand on their own as the only supplemental material you use. They drill down ito some of the rules, but they give a more general overview, and in essays, profs like specifics on some thing. I'd also like to recommend Glannon's supplemental books on Civil Procedure and Torts as other overview supplements that compliment these cards.

Ultimately, these are great for review leading up to a test. They break the ideas down into bite-sized chunks of info, and make you to take a step back from all the minutiae and focus on the bigger picture. I use them to supplement my outlines, as well.

I highly recommend these cards.

5.0 out of 5 stars handy review on the go, but make sure you have the time, June 13, 2010

This review is from: Law in a Flash: Civil Procedure II (Cards)

I purchased these my 1L year to supplement my supplements - the Glannon E&E & Multiple Choice Guide (recommend both) and a Gilberts Outline (would not recommend). They made for a very handy review of the basic rules (which required heavy memorization) and provided useful hypotheticals. I wouldn't rely on them for explaining the law (Glannon will always be best), only for memorizing the rules (which will save you time you might otherwise spend flipping through the FRCP during the exam).

A bit of advice: I see these and similar boxed flashcard sets frequently unopened and unused in the book donation pile at the end of the semester, which I think is more a matter of students overbuying study aids (I've certainly been guilty) than the quality of the cards (I can only say for Civ Pro). Make sure you know the format of the exam (open book or closed, with or w/o multiple choice) and select your aids accordingly.
