Contracts (Crunch Time)

Rating:
Summary: Very helpful
Review: During my first 6 weeks of Contracts, I believed that my professor was speaking a different language. He had recommended the hornbook of our textbook to us. I have no idea why I thought a hornbook written by the same people who wrote our textbook would be helpful, but I tried to understand Contracts by reading it. It didn't help. This book did. It simplified everything for me and with it, my class notes and my professor's lecture were deciphered. I love this book and I wouldn't part with it for the world.

One of my classmates bought this book as well as the "Examples and Explanations" book on Contracts. She thought this book was much better.

Summary: great book!
Review: I really like this book. It's short, to-the-point, and is a great help in studying contracts for the bar.

P.S. At law school there's too much of this kind of unhealthy attitude: "The Crunch Time is almost too basic to be helpful, or perhaps it is intended for students who are absolutely clueless."

Summary: The diagrams are worth the price
Review: The explanations are not going to cut it with the professor when you get called on. But if you are heading for the final and you didn't outline like you were suppose to, and you didn't go over your notes each day and go back to office hours to fill in the missing parts, and you... Then the book is exactly what it says it is. An emergency book for Crunchtime - hence, I suspect, it's title. All of this is missing the real importance of the book. The very useful diagrams. I really feel that if you just memorize the diagrams and some of the important cases from your textbook you can successful avoid flunking the class. No. A serious heavy hitting elitebar bound law student really screwed up to use this for the final. But that s not the point. You had a problem semester and this is something to hang your hat on to avoid a D.
