one helpful commercial outline

I'm not a big commercial outline user--I only used them in two classes during law school--Civil Procedure (Examples and Explanations) and Federal Courts. My professor was an old U. Chi. grad, and had Currie for Federal Courts when he was in law school, so he liked this book and it tracked our class discussions pretty well. Currie's writing is clear, and TO THE POINT. That's one thing I liked best about this one. I would recommend it over Chemerinsky's Federal Jurisdiction, which I also looked at. Federal Jurisdiction has more detail (in terms of particular case discussion) but I didn't think it had much more substance (at least what law students need and can comprehend) than Currie's Nutshell. This is one I recommend.
