4.0 out of 5 stars Good Study Aid for Remedies, December 16, 2007

By	Eros Faust "erosfaust" (Jacksonville, Florida United States) - See all my reviews

I teach Remedies. I used to be a fan of Gilbert's law summaries. Now I'm a fan of Examples and Explanations.

Gilbert's has gotten too long, too complex, and does too little summarizing.

No study aid is a substitute for the classroom. However, E & E can help pave the way to better understanding.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great problem book for finals prep, May 3, 2008

By	Mara Hsiung "icariflight" (USA) - See all my reviews

The Examples and Explanations series is, in my opinion, a little less helpful than the Siegel's series as the problems in this book are all pretty short and not quite like the long issue-spotters one ordinarily gets on final exams in law school. The upside of these books, however, is that they have summaries of the concepts you should know as well as problems with explanations for every topic. This means that if you don't quite understand one of the concepts you've been taught (tracing via constructive trusts, for example), you can use this book to supplement your lecture notes. I found the book very helpful in studying for my Remedies exam.

It's worth noting that every law school class will cover different topics in different ways, so this book may not cover some of the topics in as much detail as your professor did. I've found that this is always the case with commercial supplements; you just have to understand that your class won't always be exactly like the book, and learn not to panic when you can't answer a question on a subject your prof barely touched on. At the same time, every Remedies class should cover the basics (contract damages, tort damages, injunctions/specific relief, and restitution), all of which were covered in this book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not bad for general knowledge, April 29, 2008

By	Law student - See all my reviews

This book had a good discussion on major topics, but to look up concepts in the index was sometimes difficult
