Which law school study guide is right for me?

Which law school study guide is right for me?

Law school study aids come in various forms, and choosing the right one can be overwhelming. Common types of study guides include:

Summaries/Outlines: These condensed guides cover key legal concepts, cases, and rules, often including practice questions. Popular series include Gilbert Law School Summaries and Emanuel Law Outlines. They provide clear explanations and help students prepare efficiently for exams.

Audio Lectures: Audio series such as Law School Legends provide a comprehensive review of legal topics and are ideal for students who prefer auditory learning.

Hornbooks: Hornbooks are detailed treatises on specific legal topics, offering comprehensive overviews of the law in a given area. There are two types: traditional green hardcover Hornbooks and newer, condensed paperback versions called Concise Hornbooks. These resources provide in-depth analysis of legal concepts, key cases, and statutes, making them useful for supplementing course materials and clarifying complex legal ideas. However, the hardcover versions can be dense and time-consuming, while the Concise Hornbooks offer a more streamlined alternative for those seeking a quicker overview.

Online Resources: Podcasts like the ABA Law Student Podcast and CALI Podcast, along with legal blogs like SCOTUSBlog, offer additional perspectives on current legal issues.

There are a lot more law school study guides that may not exactly fit into a description above but are still incredibly hepful and loved by law students. The Examples & Explanation Series, Casenote Legal Briefs, and the CrunchTime Series are just a few. We'll make sure to cover all of these and more on future blog posts!
