Evidence, as one learns, is primarily "tribal knowledge" in that many of the rules are just something you need to learn the exceptions to, and they don't always make sense. These are great for learning evidence, but they should not be used as your only "question pack" because the cards provide points without a complex fact scenario. Siegel's and other books provide MBE and written-style questions that are more useful, but these are good for the basics. It is a shame they are not available for more topics. Be warned - many of these cards are duplicated in the "CrunchTime" book by the same company.

Studying evidence can be intimidating. It is just an endless series of exceptions to the basic rule that anything relevant is admissible. And then exceptions to the exceptions. But the Law in a Flash series made it really manageable and easy to understand and remember in small pieces that are digestible even when your brain is mush.

As previously noted in other "law in a flash reviews," these cards are highly beneficial in mechanical courses, and useless in more abstract and theoretical classes. One of the most useful sets is Evidence.

I only wish I had purchased these earlier in the semester instead of waiting until 2 weeks before the final exam. I look forward to using these to study for the bar exam.

Helped me get a good grade in Evidence. I laid on the floor for about 3 days and looked at these cards... one after another. The ones I had trouble with I put blue highlighter on the top edge and then came back to them. It was misery, but it helped.

There is nothing more riveting than the law in a flash series - especially the Evidence flashcards. I remember Christmases past, sitting around the sparkling tree at the old cabin and laughing over the intricacies of hearsay with the whole family. Every time I see a stack of flashcards, I remember Grandpa's Rule 403 joke and smile.
