Book Reviews of Emanuel Law Outlines: Torts keyed to Prosser, 11e
Book Review: Best supplement for Torts, much better than crunchtime, especially keyed.
Summary: 5 Stars
First and foremost, most Emanuel outlines are amazing if keyed to your casebook. This means the supplement follows along with your casebook and cases. This supplement has a short outline at the beginning and then goes more in depth explaining the topics touched on in the case book, with some checklist/issue spotting tips at the end of each chapter and some Q&A. Finally it has a few hypos and practice exams at the end. I first used an Emanuel not keyed to my text book, but switched when I started using a keyed one for Civ Pro. Both are great, but being keyed saves time and ensures that you don't miss any notes after each case. Crunchtime is the same thing as the non-keyed outline, minus the more in-depth outline and a few different hypos. This is definitely worth the extra money.
I used various supplements for this class. Before buying all of them, I would go to your law library and look them over, use them for your class and see if they are presented in a way that works for you. My biggest mistake was thinking by using supplements I would learn less or get screwed up. Professors tell you whether they like supplements or not, but if you use them to prepare for class, still at least go through the cases and take NOTES from what they say, you will do far better.
I will explain the supplements I used and how I studied for class and the final. This was by far the best professor I have ever had, using hypos and working through them in class frequently. She taught like many of the supplements, which is why I relied on them less here then in other classes.
In the first semester I read Understanding Torts to get a more in depth and overall explanation of the material covered. At times if my class covered less I would switch to Acing Tort Law (Acing Law School) for a conceptual overview. Then I used Emanuel Law Outlines: Torts for an overview of the assigned material. Then I did the assigned reading, which was much easier with Emanuel Law Outlines: Torts keyed to Prosser, 11e because it is keyed to the casebook (switched to this halfway through 1st semester). Next I took brief notes to work out an outline for the steps used to analyze fact patterns. Here, Acing Torts is particularly helpful because it has a great checklist (see my review because it is arranged oddly in the book). Last I scanned the relevant chapter in The Forms and Functions of Tort Law, 3d (Concepts and Insights) (Abraham) to get some policy reasons for my notes. The key with this book was understanding why Courts created a law or why they decide certain ways in a case. If in a policy based class this book is essential. After class I quickly ran through my notes and organized them a bit into a rough outline (10-15 mins). Then on the weekend I would work on hypos she gave and use The Law of Torts: Examples & Explanations, Third Edition to work through more confusing topics and practice writing hypos.
By 2nd semester I used the Understanding book less and less because I picked up on the material quicker. I relied heavily on Acing Torts and Emanuel (using Abraham for bits of great policy arguments).
These books collectively were not necessary, but they helped. If short on cash, the books from most helpful to least are your required casebook, Emanuel (especially if keyed), Acing Torts, Understanding Torts (1st semester and half of 2nd), E&E, and Abraham. However, some prefer E&E for explanation over Understanding. Last, is Crunchtime (this includes only portions of the full outline). Also, I have used Siegel's Torts: Essay and Multiple-Choice Questions and Answers from the library for practice in other classes, which may be preferable for many people.
See my other reviews regarding the above books mentioned. However, only the first couple paragraphs will be different.
Good Luck, I will try and answer any comments!
