Civil Procedure QuickStudy Laminated Reference Guide (QuickStudy Law)

What these laminates do better than nearly any other resource is to give you a general overview and guide so you can understand where the material is going. Similar to the artist's technique where you have to create a vague rough sketch to understand proportion and relevance, these allow you to understand the significance of minutia and detail in the bigger schematic. Also great refresher if you are return after a long time away and your own notes don't make sense anymore.The Bad:These cannot replace the actual text or class material, though of the entire series Constitutional Law, Civil Procedure and Criminal Procedure come closest. Also, some of the case references are outdated. In particular, they do not have the 2007 amendments to FRCP which have been in effect for some time now.The Ugly:For those gunners out there, the laminate surface also makes these perfect to buy a second set to keep in the can for those "first thing in the morning" study sessions.

If your professor lets you take any supplements you want into your exam, this is perfect for that. A couple of times where my notes missed one or another detail or something like that, this thing was a nice little back up. Obviously it doesn't have a ton of detail, but it has all the relevant scaffolding for the major topics in the class.

What BarCharts are NOT: a comprehensive study guide. You cannot do well on a law school exam or bar exam relying solely upon BarCharts. That is not their purpose.What BarCharts ARE: a condensed overview of the black letter law. Use them as a quick reference to understand the material during the semester. Use them as a REVIEW of the material you (should) have already studied for the exam.In law school, BarCharts were the last thing I skimmed over before taking an exam. It's a good refresher.Same with the bar exam. I skimmed over my BarCharts both nights before the exam.

We own a series of Quick Study guides. These guides are clearly not a substitute for 500-page study books, but are generally very useful quick references. We routinely consult the Quick Study guides when we need to write something with a legal slant, on a scientific topic, or merely a flawlessly punctuated document. This is a generic review, as one could always argue what each Quick Study guide should contain or shouldn’t contain. As a general, basic reference, the sturdy guides are excellent, well-organized, and concise.

I like the way I can check on different areas of law with this very easy to read and understand folders. I have several others in the areas of law.

I used this as a supplement while i studied for exams. It is so helpful when trying to understand difficult concepts. It's also nice that the content is in a logical order.

well, the idea is great. Having something so clearly written out and easy to read is awesome. My only problem is that it is outdated, therefore some of the information is outdated and incorrect, which is a big issue.

quick easy guide I love that i can use erasable markers to circle or cross out what I need more help with or what I have mastered. I have this hanging on my desk and coworkers ask me to borrow it all the time. Must have for any paralegal or law student. I am a paralegal in an law office and new coworkers always as to borrow even the law students
