4.0 out of 5 stars When reading the reviews below understand they are for old edition, June 28, 2005
First---as I've reviewed for the other E&E's, the database is melding the reviews together.

I'm speaking of the newest edition which is quite good. I laughed reading the reviews below where people compare these to emanuel's and gilbert's when really they are a different breed.

If you do your job and outline and supplement with E&E you really can't go wrong. They provide explanations and practice, not a "hold your hand and walk you through everything and do your outlining for you" method that apparently a lot of students want--hence the sales of emanuels and gilbert's.

In sum, if you are looking for a comprehensive outline on law get a commercial outline. If you are looking for explanations and real practice, take a look at these. As the reviewer below stated, this newer edition is definately worth a shot.

3.0 out of 5 stars Make sure you're getting the new edition, June 5, 2005
By indy_scarlet (Indianapolis, IN) - See all my reviews
The two editions appear to be tied together in Amazon's database. Reviews given to one appear in both places. In my opinion, the Second Edition (ISBN 0735539790) resolves a lot of the criticisms that I have heard and read about the first edition. Let the reviews scare you away from the old edition, but give the new one a look. It's worth it.

1.0 out of 5 stars A great disappointment., April 24, 2002
By A Customer
Don't waste your money on the first edition; get the Gilbert's outline instead. Then, if you have questions, just ask your prof.

Compared to the Examples & Explanations for Contracts (Blum), Torts (Glannon), and the astounding Civil Procedure (Glannon), this book was a big let-down. Either Aspen needs to have some student reviewers, or the editors at Aspen need to get their act together and compare what is in the book with a commercial outline.

In our study group, we randomly turned to two examples & explanations. In one case, the authors said that they differed on the outcome, but only gave one authors opinion (Implied Warranty of Habitability, chp 20, example #10). In another (on Dower, Chp 14., example 1), the answer is flat-out wrong.

I do like that the chapters are short, and not intimidating, but the explanations have to be beefed up and well-developed. They are not in this book, and I cannot recommend anyone purchase it. I'm not wasting any time using it in preparation for finals.

You will read the cases and go to class, but you can't touch this subject until you've answered fifty questions WRONG. It can either be in this book or on the exam. You decide.
