Book Reviews of Emanuel Law Outlines: Criminal Law
Book Review: Excellent supplement for the class!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am currently using this book and I firmly believe that it is one of the best supplements to this class. I don't know how I would survive in this class without it!Book Review: Very helpful bare-bones blackletter guide
Summary: 4 Stars
I find Emanuel outlines in general to be great. I found the crim outline in particular useful for its very simple and thorough presentation of crim blackletter. My professor often offers either his own gloss to prevailing majority rules or the theory behind them - this is great for establishing the baseline in American criminal law.Book Review: Not up to snuff like most Emanuel outlines
Summary: 3 Stars
This was my least favorite supplement. However, people using a different casebook Criminal Law: Cases and Materials than me have found it useful. The hypos (questions) at the end of each topic were very useful, but there were no flowcharts or checklists other than a few "tips" at the end of each chapter. It is organized the same as other Emanuel outlines, with a condensed outline, a more in depth outline and then some exam questions at the end. Crunchtime is identical except for the in-depth outline.
I would suggest looking supplements up in the law library and reading a few sections. I used Understanding Criminal Law when Emanuel and my casebook Criminal Law: Cases and Materials didn't cover the topics well. I only began using Casenote Legal Briefs Criminal Law: Keyed to Kaplan Weisberg & Binder 6 Ed (Casenote Legal Briefs) near the end and really wished I had used it from the start. Emanuel just didn't cut it like the keyed versions, but Casenote and Understanding got me through.
I found Siegels Criminal Law: Essay Multiple Choice Question Answer 2009 (Siegel's Series) far more useful and wish I had used from the start. Also Acing Criminal Law was useful for brief info when outlining and working through outlines. The checklist/flowchart format is remarkably useful.
