Summary: Ineffective Way to Study Civil Procedure
Comment: If you think that civil procedure is a mindless, tedious, rule-based subject, this book will probably reinforce your convictions, and as a result you won't probably derive much joy from studying civil procedure nor do well on the exam. However, if you begin to understand the policy arguments and constitutional theories behind concepts like the choice of laws, the Erie doctrine, directed verdict, summary judgment, joinder, personal jurisdiction, subject matter jurisdiction, and venue, I think that you will get much further along your journey of deriving satisfaction and knowledge. Unfortunately, this book does not get you there. Your casebook and professor should be your primary sources. If you are still confused by them and need further reinforcement or summary, I highly recommend Professor Glannon's book from the Examples and Explanations series.

Summary: A Reduced Price for a Good Overview
Comment: I heard that this series is a cheaper alternative to the overpriced Emanuel Law Outlines. It breaks everything down quickly but doesn't make you feel like you should have paid more. It gives numerous flow charts and gives good exam tips. I recommend this if you can't afford Emanuel Law Outlines.

Summary: good supplement
Comment: the cards are a good supplement--in the line of so many supplements. If you like trivial pursut--you'll like learning with the flashcards.

Summary: Great in a pinch
Comment: I bought these 2 weeks before finals and found them helpful specifically for the joinder and discovery rules. I do wish they would come out with a set that included both Civ Pro I and II. These were great for last minute studying.
