2.0 out of 5 stars Don't bother, October 9, 2000

This review is from: Strategies & Tactics for the First Year Law Student: Maximize Your Grades (Law in a Flash) (Paperback)

Most of this information is given to you at orientation (IRAC method, etc.). This is basically an advertisement for their Law In A Flash Flashcard series, and other Emanuel products, which they basically try to convince you that you cannot live without. For instance, in the chapter on Studying and Class Preparation, they mentioned Law in a Flash flashcard series or other Emanuel products 17 times. It got to be a bit much. Go to the Emanual website for free if you want to look at their ads and save your money.

This review is from: Strategies & Tactics for the First Year Law Student (Paperback)

I wish I would have had this book from the beginning of my law school career. It's very informative & gives one structure as to how to adequately prepare yourself for law school. It gives preparation tips such as preparing an outline (to assist with studies), note-taking, reviews, & test preparation.
This book is very informative!
