great deal and quick ship

thanks for a great deal! this was less than 1/3 of the retail price. it said it was in good condition, but actually appeared brand new.

Very helpful bare-bones blackletter guide

I find Emanuel outlines in general to be great. I found the crim outline in particular useful for its very simple and thorough presentation of crim blackletter. My professor often offers either his own gloss to prevailing majority rules or the theory behind them - this is great for establishing the baseline in American criminal law.

Splendid resource for students in California non-ABA law schools!

If you're in a California non-ABA approved law school and after about nine months you are completely burnt out with your text books then start studying these criminal law flash cards. In the first 100 cards it clarifies legal terms that extend to torts as well such as vicarious liabilty and these flash cards go on to explain the exact difference between proximate cause and cause in fact for both criminal law and torts as well. These flash cards are not as hard to study as text books but they are not a substitute for them either. If you are 1ls in an ABA approved law school then disregard this review and study whatever your law professor recommends.

Fantastic
