Prof. Miller is widely acknowledged not only as tops in the field, but as an extremely effective teacher of the subject. Prof. Miller has perfected his teaching of this course over many years, and these recordings provide a condensed version of the course he has taught at Harvard Law School for many years.

I was lucky enough to have Prof. Miller as my Civ Pro professor - but this is your chance to hear the "highlights" of his course for yourself. Professor Miller explains it all in very clear terms, and alerts you to potential exam questions and pitfalls. Also, much of Prof. Miller's sense of humor and love for his subject comes through on these recordings -- if anyone can make you love (or at least like) this subject, it's him.

I listened to this before school started and replayed certain sections for review during school. Miller makes the material interesting and not as dry as what I thought it would be. He does not go into great detail, but offers a good overview of Civ Pro with examples you can follow. I found it very helpful to listen to during my drive to and from school, but I would not just want to sit down and listen. It will not be your only supplement, but if you have a 1/2 hour+ drive it will help you understand the concepts. It's a little pricey at $70+ but so is law school.

Don't make the mistake I made and wait until second semester to buy these Arthur Miller cds. Spend the money up front and between these cds (and the Glannon books) you will be set and you'll find it was well worth it right from the get go. The cds got me through all the tough topics and made Civ Pro one of my favorite subjects. Miller trudges through all the big items in an easy, sensible way with very clear hypos, and a sense of humor that totally grows on you. His teachings stood out in my mind so many times during my final and honestly think I would have been in a terrible position without these cds.
