Summary: Legalines offer the best in review materials
Review: I have come to expect the best from the Legalines series, and they have usually delivered. These are the best of the variety of legal supplements and hornbooks I have used in my 2 years at law school (including Nutshell, Emmanuel and Casenotes). This book offers a compact, yet fairly detailed, look at wills and estates. It is keyed directly to the Dukeminier casebook, so it is easy to locate the section of the text you need help in. I appreciated this exactness when making my own outline...I didn't need to constantly flip through pages to match my notes, text and supplement. I also liked the plain, succinct explanations the book gave on each section of the law. I found their treatment of the degree of relationship scheme and various inheritance order systems and particularly helpful. Their case summaries are also well organized, dividing each case by its facts, issue(s) and holding(s). I would recommend this series of supplements to anyone, even if just used to assist in your own outline.
