Dressler's clever scheme 1 out of 5 stars.
5 of 7 people found this review helpful.

The book is fairly useful because it presents readers with a great amount of black letter law. It made me wonder why Dressler's textbook is such an awful and confusing mess of babble. Then, it finally hit me. Dressler simultaenously churns out impossible-to-understand criminal law textbooks that law students are forced to buy, thereby creating a market for black letter law guides and hornbooks. Then, Dressler creates these black letter law guides and hornbooks as an antidote to his shoddy textbook! Ingenius.

Honestly, there are better books out there to help you with criminal law. I find the nutshell series to be more helpful than Dressler. The Emanuel and Gilbert outlines are also better. After producing his horrible "Cases and Materials on Criminal Law" textbook for 1Ls, which seems to be intentionally confusing, Dressler doesn't deserve to sell any of his study-aids.

Editorial Review:

Written by a recognizable and well respected authority in the criminal law field, this Black Letter follows in the tradition of Professor Dressler’s casebook and treatise, in terms of coverage, organization, and easy-to-read style. Black Letter Outline on Criminal Law mirrors the coverage of the most commonly used casebooks, and even more clearly mirrors the coverage of most professors in their classrooms. Most of the Black letter focuses on the so-called "general part of the criminal law" : the basic elements of a crime, defenses to crimes, inchoate liability, and complicity—what most professors want their students to learn. The Black Letter also thoroughly explains Criminal Homicide offenses, Rape (Sexual Assault), and the Theft crimes. Clearly and separately covering both common law and Model Penal Code principles, this Black Letter also offers user-friendly features—such as the “Conversation with students” section at the beginning of each part.

The Makeing of America: The Substance and Meaning of the Constitution 5 out of 5 stars.
8 of 10 people found this review helpful.

The Making of America is a must read for every American. This book gives an detailed account of what the Founding Fathers' intended our form of government to be, a Republic, not a Democracy. If you want to be a patriot that is not blown about by every wind of political sophistry, read this book! Did you realize that the Founding Fathers' had a different political spectrum that we use today? Read this book to find out more.

The Making of America 5 out of 5 stars.
8 of 9 people found this review helpful.

A remarkably clear and lucid explanation of how the Constitution was formed. The author's sensitivity to historical context is exceptional. The book is written in a breezy high-school style that makes it accessible to essentially any reader. The author quotes extensively from the writings of the Founders so that the reader doesn't have to take his word for anything. This book is a "must-read" for anyone who wants to be an informed and responsible citizen of our republic.

A Must Read 5 out of 5 stars.

This book is a must read for every American. This should be taught in our school system. Everyone should know the Constitution so they can see for themselves what the government is taking away. Liberty is for all not just a few.

Emanuel Civil Procedure 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

BUY OUTLINES FOR ALL YOUR CLASSES! THE BOOKS FOR CLASS ARE ONLY CASEBOOKS - THEY DON'T EXPLAIN THE LAW; THE OUTLINES DO! I have found this book VERY helpful. I will be purchasing a commercial outline of some sort for every class I take now. Emanuel's, specifically, is very good. I have no way of comparing this brand with others, since this is the only brand I have used, but nonetheless, I have been very pleased.

Happy User 5 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

The Crunch Time series is great for the Law School Exams-- the "cheater" charts are especially helpful. I'm glad that I held on to the
Crim Pro and Evidence books. In my work as a JAG attorney, I have found that they are perfect memory joggers to help with my part-time prosecution duties.

useful the night before your final 3 out of 5 stars.
3 of 14 people found this review helpful.

It is a very thorough commercial outline. However, there are many details that are being left out. In brief, it is not a perfect substitute for actual textbooks.

The application flow charts can be used all semester long, but the capsule summaries are ideal for exam preparation. Each title offers capsule summaries of major points of law and critical issues, exam tips for identifying common traps and pitfalls, sample exam and essay questions with model answers, and recommended approaches for crafting essays that will get winning grades!

Helpful for learning the intentional torts 4 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

I entered Law School with a great deal of reluctance about any sort of commercial aids, especially flash cards. However, I have since discovered that some commercial aids are helpful with certain aspects of studying. These Torts flashcards have been valuable in helping me learn the elements of the various intentional torts, and spotting those torts in a hypothetical fact pattern.

This product should not be your primary means of learning torts, but I recommend them as a supplement, especially learning the elements of the Intentional torts!

Great for Test Preparations 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

This book is extremely useful in preparing for a torts exam. In fact, the fact patterns on one of the questions was so great that my professor copied a large portion of it on our final exam question (the ethical side of that can be debated with Emory).

Good product but not economical. 4 out of 5 stars.
2 of 3 people found this review helpful.

I would have given this book five stars, however, it's not economical. Aspen publishers (publishers of this Q & A series) also publish Finz Multistate Method. The Finz product contains 196 tort multiple choice questions whereas the siegel's tort Q & A only has 92. Keep in mind that these products are published by the same publisher, therefore, the questions in the siegel's series appear in the Finz Multistate Method. Furthermore, the Finz product has Contracts, Property, Constitutional Law, and Evidence questions. However, the Finz product does not have essay questions but you could always google old essay exams and answers. By purchasing the Finz Multistate Method, you'll end up saving more money, have the convenience of having all the questions in one book, and have many more questions.

Expensive, but worth it 4 out of 5 stars.
3 of 4 people found this review helpful.

Now this is one expensive book, but it's well worth it in my opinion. I just finished a 60+ page thesis paper for college and this was one of the Computer Forensics books that I referenced/used a source. It's a thorough book that covers a lot more than just Computer Forensics, but rather aspects of the whole of Forensic Science. The full color pages are detailed and the case studies are thorough.

Editorial Review:

Intro to Forensic Science courses - in CJ, Forensic Science, Chemistry programs Criminalistics aims at making the subject of forensic science comprehensible to a wide variety of readers who are planning on being aligned with the forensic science profession. Written by a very well-known authority in forensic science, this text introduces the non-scientific student to the field of forensic science. Through applications to criminal investigations, clear explanations of the techniques, and the abilities and limitations of modern crime labs, Criminalistics covers the comprehensive realm of forensics. The text strives to make the technology of the modern crime laboratory clear to the non-scientist. Combining case stories with applicable technology, Criminalistics captures the excitement of forensic science investigations.

Another Great Book From NOLO 5 out of 5 stars.
16 of 16 people found this review helpful.

Nolo Press continues the tradition of providing step by step guidance through complex legal processes. Step by step demystification of the process.


Even if you are going to use an attorney this is a good read and you will save many times the cost of the book in having answered your own questions and by receiving a good introduction to the subject.

Highly recommended

Best resource on the subject 5 out of 5 stars.
13 of 13 people found this review helpful.

In order to help my parents with their trust, I had checked out about a dozen books on the subject from the library. I found Denis Clifford's to be the easiest to follow and easiest to read on a fairly complex subject. I found the book (and his "Plan Your Estate" book) so informative I bought a set for myself.

This book offers lots of "real life" examples of different types of financial scenarios and the best options for setting up a trust that will protect the assets from excessive legal fees and/or estate taxes. It covers almost everything you need to know to either write your own trust or carefully check the details of your trust if prepared by a lawyer.

The CD included provides you with the language you need to write your own by filling in the blanks, as well as the step-by-step procedure to cover all the bases to be certain the trust meets all the legal & tax requirements for trusts.

This book is also apparently updated each year, as the tax and estate laws are frequently being revised. I highly recommend this book, and also highly recommend as a companion book that covers other aspects of financial planning, wills, etc., Dennis Clifford's Plan Your Estate.

I was so impressed I also bought copies of both books for my parents and my sister so we could all get our finances in order.

Editorial Review:

Contains easy-to-understand tear-out living trust forms and explains all aspects of living trusts, including how to create one, how one works, how property is transferred to the trust, and the benefits of having one. Original.
