Summary: Gilbert Law Summaries- Contracts
Comment: helped me put contract in a working order for my outlines and essay writings + cleared up concepts from hornbook readings
Customer Rating:
Summary: Overall good
Comment: Overall good review of Con Law. Only suggestion is picking up black law dictonary with purchase some words they assume the reader knows which can damper learning experience.

Summary: Excellent Supplement
Comment: I just finished my Contracts final, but I will not blame my grade on this book.
This does what it is supposed to. It supplements the material that the Prof. presents in class. If you are not sure what the modern rule is, this is where you go. If you are not sure if there is an exception, this is where you go. If you are not sure what the basic functions of the rule is, this is where you check. If you are not sure what Restatement or UCC section applies, this is where you check.
If you want to know the reasons Why, this is not where you go. The book explains the rationale behind the rule in only a few situations. If you have an exam that is only multiple choice, you could skip every class, read this cover to cover three times and do pretty well. Unfortunately, most exams are not like that.
This book is great for supplementing your notes and filling in the gray areas. For that, it is invaluable, but like all commercial outlines, it cannot replace your notes.
As the previous reviewer says, the flow charts are excellent. This certainly facilitates understanding, I would just recommend not putting all your eggs in this basket.

Summary: Excellent Aid!
Comment: The charts in this book are what makes it so effective and helpful. Once again Gilbert's has provided law students with a great teaching aid and exam study guide. The questions in the back are very good, but beware 1L's in your first semester not having all of the information necessary to fully answer the questions.
The charts in this book are fantastic and are not to be missed! A must have for law students!
