5.0 out of 5 stars A talisman for first year law students, May 9, 2005

By	Bart Motes (Miami, Florida) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book and several others are the gold standard for supplements in law school. And don't listen to what anyone says, reading these books is not somehow cheating yourself out learning information from the cases. Case-analysis is a vital skill but it's not what law school exams test you on. They test primarially how well you can synthesize information over the course of a semester and then apply that synthesized information to the analysis of a fact pattern in a four hour exam. The E&E series generally mimics this process very well, but the Glannon Civil Procedure book is heads above the rest.

It's such a talisman for first year law students that anyone who advises against it should be regarded with grave suspicion.

5.0 out of 5 stars I concur fully with other reviews, this is the best, May 4, 2000

By	Chitown Reader (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Civil Procedure: Examples and Explanations (The Examples & Explanations Series) (Paperback)

This book is a necessity for anyone hoping to succeed in their civil procedure class. Before I read this book I couldn't tell an interpleader from and impleader, this book will even unravel the quagmire of the dreaded Erie doctrine. I could not recommend a book more strongly than I would recommend this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Civ-Pro review book on the market!, December 13, 1999

By	Keith Szeliga (Cambridge, Massachusetts) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Civil Procedure: Examples and Explanations (The Examples & Explanations Series) (Paperback)

In deciding which Civil Procedure study-guide to purchase, I considered at least 5 other options, none of which are even in the same league as Glannon's "Examples and Explanations." Glannon's writing style is thorough, yet concise. He manages to convey an excellent understanding of the basic concepts and theoretical underpinnings of the rules and doctrines relevant to an introductory Civil Procedure course, without getting bogged down in the more trivial details of the Federal Rules of Civil procedure themselves. One word of caution: This book will be most helpful to students whose Civil Procedure professor is predominantly interested in theory and conceptual understanding as opposed to the minute details of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. For the latter type of class, Arthur Miller's study guide may be more appropriate.
