No nonsense and therefore great as a reference especially before final exam time. I highly recommend for black letter law layout in addition to another commercial outline depending on what casebook you use. Disadvantage - this one doesn't refer to case names- but this is what allows it to present the law concisely. Use it with another outline like Emanuel or Gilberts. It will provide the balance you will need to supplement your learning from the casebook reading.
Some great review questions to test yourself on throughout the book. Plus two exam-type questions at the end with sample essay answers. Worth the price.

The best part about this book is that it will enable you to make a very useful outline, as long as you don't include any substantive information. Some things aren't quite accurate, the review questions can be misleading, too many details, but I made an incredible outline with this book. Buying it from Amazon didn't work out (binding issues) but I bought it again at a local bookstore simply for the Capsule Summary. Everything else is better left to Gilbert's or Emmanuels.

Very good quick review of all of the major points covered in a standard torts class. Used in conjunction with your case book, this will be a good tool come test time.

easy to read, sussinct, manageable, and not overbearing outline, a good outline to study another more complicated outline.
