Review: ... getting cold called but with this book you can easily reference the case you were supposed to read - Every law student knows the fear of getting cold called but with this book you can easily reference the case you were supposed to read. This book gives you the ability to answer your teacher's questions while pretending that you might actually be learning something in law school besides what cripplingly debt is. It has saved many friends of mine, whether it be for preparing for class or an upcoming exam. Review: Who needs a textbook when you have this? - I got an A in this class and only read through maybe 1/2 of my textbook. I did find some holdings/take away from case not correct. Therefore, I recommend using this book as your professor is going through the textbook and making notes within this book on what the professor actually cares about. The facts are correct and can save you a lot of time in preparing to be cold-called.

Great little summaries!
Awesome little summaries of some very dense cases. Helpful to me as I was cramming for Corporations. I suggest pairing it with Legalines or some similar outline book.

Great study tool
Great study tool. Most casenote legal briefs also have an outline, this does not (reason for 4-star and not 5-star).

Good, but need more cases.
Good but not the best. It still hasn't some important cases. The book has the best structure to describe how works every case.
