Excellent!

This meets the standards of the usual superb Sum and Substance quality. Great for first time learning or final review. Highly recommended.

These CDs are awesome

I listened to these CDs and I outlined what Professor Goode said. I really didn't pay much attention in class, and I was able to get an A- in Evidence. Prof. Goode explains things very well, and with some supplemental work on some more difficult topics (i.e., lots of hearsay practice questions!), you will learn everything you need to know about Evidence from these CDs.

Depends what you're looking for...

You will not be ready for an exam in evidence after listening to these CDs. But, if you are like me and rarely attended class or did the reading, these CDs are a great way to get caught up. After listening to them, I was more or less ready to start studying as if I had actually been paying attention all semester. Also- The guy (Prof Goode) does not talk fast, I'm not sure what that other dude is talking about. If anything he's a little slow and repetitive at times. And he does use some weird acronyms to try and help people remember things, I would suggest you just ignore them. Overall, these CDs are like all the other Sum and Substance CDs- I used them when I was 6 days away from an evidence exam that I was not ready for, and they helped me get a B+ in the class. If you want more than that.....well then you should have been going to lecture and taking notes and outlining, these CDs are for those of us who don't want to do that.

This is the best evidence lecture I have ever heard

I'm writing this review in response to a couple of negative reviews. I'm listening to the lecture right now and it is the best, most understandable lecture on evidence that I have ever heard. Better, in my opinion than the evidence lecture put out by PMBR for the MBE (law graduates will understand those acronyms). Believe me, I had a horrible visiting evidence professor (luckily for others she lasted only two semesters) who couldn't explain hearsay from naysay. It is a great lecture!!!

This is GREAT

I don't know what the last guy is talking about-- I bought these tapes because Evidence was my last exam and driving home for Thanksgivings I felt like it would be a good time to spend a little time on it. Because so many people had rec'd these tapes I bought them on my way out of town. I'm not into booktapes, but after it got through the first 10 minutes and picked up a little--- everything fell together! I wouldn't necessarily say listen before you have a grasp on anything. But I think that its a GREAT review for exams!! It made so many things make more sense and clarified a lot of issues.
