Great study guide

Great study guide. This book really laid out the information in an order that was easy to understand. The questions in the back were really helpful in figuring out where I needed to spend more time. I would definitely recommend using this when preparing for a Conflicts exam!

This was AMAZING!!

When studying for Conflicts--one of the hardest exams in my law school--I used this book. It was great! It had everything I needed to know...and more. It was also easily organized and easy to follow. It really laid everything out and had some great easy to memorize checklists.

An Essential Exam Tool

Thanks to this book, I got an A. Nuff said.

Though long, this outline helped relieve my fears.

I went to the law school where this author used to be dean. She didn't teach conflict of laws (she taught marital property) and the students who did take conflict of laws said it was incredibly hard. Conflict of laws is basically civil procedure to the second power. I am still not convinced that I would be able to site a conflicts issue in a civ. pro. question. Nevertheless, this Gilberts was helpful. It's long, like the Gilberts for property, torts, and other multistate bar subjects. However, its length is due to the fact that it covers civ. pro. concepts that you will need to understand. This Gilberts has a lot of charts that will help you digest the material. It's most helpful when the charts come at the beginning of the chapter, but unfortunately most charts don't appear until the end. This Gilberts mentions DOMA (the Defense of Marriage Act) and it suggests how big that issue will be in the courts in the future. This commercial outline was quite helpful.
