Great, concise outlines. well worth it

These books were great overviews for the main bar topics. I found them to be a great resource since I commute a lot. great way to refresh (or learn) the material for the bar. February 2019 bar taker in IL.

awesome bar study aid when you are in your car.

good info and examples you can use in your car or at the gym when you can't sit down and study.

Great study tool - for Paralegals, too!

I needed to brush up before I took a certification exam for Paralegals, and this was great! The simplistic overview and examples helped me get a few more answers than I would have if I hadn't listened beforehand - it's been six years since I took the class as part of my certificate program. I work with probate, trusts, and estates - not litigation - so I haven't had to deal with these concepts since school.

I would highly recommend this for anyone looking to brush up with a quick overview.

I'm a fan of the series

I am not a lawyer nor student. I just like to study law casually. I love the coverage and delivery of content, and, for what it's worth, I believe this content is a great entry into Tort. I have other books in this series and so far they're great.

annoying jingle at intro of 80+ tracks.

There is an annoying introductory jingle at each of the 80-plus tracks that are not labeled according to the subject covered but instead label chapter x. that sound was too much to endure after a dozen.

Thank you for a very useful Outline!

This Outline was sufficiently comprehensive and very easy to digest in a single sitting. Thank You!

No Chapter Titles

There is not listings for eah chapter title. This makes it very hard to find what it is you're looking for.

Mostly Accurate with Childish Examples

Most of the information given, in my opinion, was accurate, however there were some examples given that were highly debatable. They were presented as fact when I believe they were merely opinion or at the very least not applicable to all jurisdictions. The reading was mundane at best and involved juvenile examples sprinkled throughout involving comic book characters. One example involves Superman hurling Lois Lane's home into outer space in order to save the neighborhood from fire. I found such examples as this ridiculous and distracting.

Great for 1L

Best as a supplement outline for class. The last hour is as actually sample questions and answers, so the actual lesson is pretty digestible!

Tort

Very nicely explained and broken down to simple terms and definitions. Perfect for a first year law student.
