Keyed perfectly

would purchase again...saves quite a bit of time instead of reading cases over and over to understand them.

Decent Study Aid

In my property class, I have used this study aid extensively. It is great at whittling down the cases into easy-to-understand briefs. However, this does *not* replace actual briefing that every law student should do. Important facts, rules, explanations, and public policy arguments are often missing from the HCCS briefs. In addition, sometimes they miss what professors are really seeking in the arguments and sometimes miss the issue entirely. However, if you are looking for a good resource to supplement your own briefing and cut through a lot of the SCOTUS and Circuit Court garble, this is a great purchase. I received a B+ in Property I (the class average was a C+) - this helped achieve the grade.

Pretty awesome

High Court Case Summaries does really well in getting you the information you need. It is very thorough, but concise. Definitely one of the best supplements I've found so far.

Great supplement

I would highly recommend this book as a supplement to the case book. It really summed up the material well. It applies many of the cases that appear in Cribbet, Johnson, Findley, and Smith's Casebook on Property, 8th Edition. Even if that's not the casebook you're using, this book is still a really valuable resource as it is simply a summary of the concepts.

The best canned brief book you can buy

The "High Court Case Summaries" is the best "canned brief" book you can buy. Almost our entire 1L class uses this book. The book store can't keep them in stock. Once you compare this canned brief book to others, you will really understand why. The setup and organization of the book is top notch. The book explains why each case is important to the course. And if that is not enough: They even have funny photos for each case. I have bought three of these books for three of my courses thus far, and would buy one for each one of my courses if they were available.
