4.0 out of 5 stars Recommended for students and instructors of wills and trusts, December 14, 2003

By	Mark Hammond (Chambersburg, PA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Siegel's Wills & Trusts: Essay and Multiple-Choice Questions and Answers (Siegel's Series) (Paperback)

When I was a college student, I often used old tests as a study aid to prepare for examinations. This also held true when I was a law student. Now that I am teaching paralegal studies, I am the person who has to come up with the questions. I had been used to long essay questions in law school, but those proved to be inappropriate for paralegal students. Paralegal students tend to favor true false and multiple choice questions, which are really difficult to write.

There is a certain logic in how examinations are prepared by instructors and professors, and Seigel's Wills and Trusts provides some insight into how they are prepared. I was able to have some guidance in preparing exams through the use of this book. For the student, this book is good in that it covers the basic concepts. I am not saying that your instructor will use this book to prepare his exams, but through the study of this book you should be able to have sufficient an understanding of the topic material and how it is presented in an examination to prepare well for the exams given at the end of a course.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book if you had a decent prof and paid attention in class..., May 3, 2008

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

This review is from: Siegel's Wills and Trusts: Essay and Multiple-Choice Questions and Answers (Paperback)

If you prepare for law school exams by doing problems, as I do, this is a great series of books to use. It doesn't have any black-letter law summaries, so don't expect it to teach you the material, but what it does have are great, detailed issue-spotter problems -- the kind your professors will most likely be asking you to answer on their exams. Even better, it has full essay answers to the problems, so you'll be able to read an "A"-type answer written by a law professor and learn how yours differs from that. I used Siegel's as often as I could during law school and was able to beat the curve more often using their products than anyone else's.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great practice on the Uniform Probate Code (UPC), January 13, 2007

By	KMA (San Diego, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This workbook has 25 essays and 91 multiple choice questions that test the UPC. I found it to be an excellent study aid for my 100 multiple choice question Wills & Trusts exam.
