Adequate Supplement... does the job

There are many hornbooks and supplements out there covering secured transactions and they are all a bit deficient. Gilberts is perhaps the best, but does only does a superficial job at integrating the important features of bankruptcy proceedings. Overall however, its lays the basic foundations of the integral fixtures of article 9 law. If you are interested in actually learning the subject... it's not a great choice. If you are just looking to survive the exam, it will get you through it. Also, if someone happens to stumble upon this review and is considering law school but has not yet applied... read the review below and reconsider.

The best supplement for Sec Trans

I am the KING of law school supplements. I am ranked NUMBER ONE in GPA in my class. You may bow before me. OK, that is sufficient. To your feet. OK, about this supplement. It is quite good. I have used ALL the supplements. E & E....Finals....Emanuels....CrunchTime....Siegels .....Nutshell...Gilberts...you name it, and I have used it for one class or another. No one particular brand of supplement is the best for every course. Crim Pro? Use Emanuels. Prof Resp/Ethics? Use Siegels. Civ Pro? Use Glannons Multiple Choice. It all depends on the author and the editors. It varies, as they say. But this Gilberts for Sec Trans is the one you want. Trust me. It is succinct. It summarizes BRIEFLY. And best of all, it has lots of good examples/hypos. Buy it. Used, if possible. P.S. Someone else here mentioned in a review that this book only covers the 1999 revisions and does not have the 2002 revisions. Well, yes. But that is what is being taught. THe 2002 revisions are not being taught. And really the 2002 revisions are not a whole new game. And in fact, I believe that this book DOES mention the 2002 revisions as an addendum to each topic.

Survive the most boring class in law school

I used Gilbert's to get through the most boring class in lawschool without reading a single case.Sounds impossible? Not if you use the Gilbert's on Secured Transactions along with with a book of canned briefs such as Casenotes. Like all Gilbert's outlines this one has all the major rules of law, a capsule outline and citations to major cases. It also has some practice questions to help prepare you for the exam.
