Wonderful, Condensed, and Elucidating!

I bought this little book the day before my evidence final. Our class wasn't particularly awesome--it was the prof's first time teaching, and although he understood evidence, he wasn't great at explaining it. In less than 24 hours, this book clarified every concept that I didn't yet understand. The capsule summary is the main part of this book, and it is great. There are SO many examples to clarify the many abstract applications of the Federal Rules of Evidence! You can't HELP but understand it! There are some really cool flowcharts in the front that take you through the complete analysis for hearsay, best evidence rule, and a couple other things. It also has practice questions (though I didn't have time to use them).

Perfect for Evidence

Emanuel Law Outlines are expensive and aren't necessarily the best choice for every law school subject. For example, I have it for Constitutional Law and I hate it. I think that is because Constitutional law is theoretical while Evidence is concrete with laws. This series is PERFECT for Evidence. It breaks down the rules into numerous examples and does an amazing job of sorting out the complexities of Hearsay and Impeachment. I would definitely recommend Emanuel for this subject.

Great Review

I highly recommend this book (I have the '07 edition). It has flow charts, an outline, short answer questions, and multiple choice. It's a great review before finals. Definitely worth it's price too.

A great help for exam prep

I wish I had been using this book all semester. It was very helpful in preparing for my Evidence final; it shows how to apply the rules of evidence, and more importantly, how the rules work together. It acts like a roadmap, showing you which rule to start with and how to work through any of the tricky situations the professor may toss at you. The exam tips were very helpful in highlighting key issue-spotting areas and things the professors will commonly use on exams (quite accurate). I highly recommend it!

Great Review Resource

A great overview of Evidence Law in the U.S. courts system. I like the outline in the first pages. The price doesn't hurt either!
