Emanuel Law Outlines

Emanuel Law Outlines are Mini-Hornbooks

In 2021 we no longer believe that you should spend any time or effort using Emanuel Law Outlines. If you don’t understand the law simply get a subscription to Dean’s Law Dictionary and quickly see all the idiomatic law in one easy to access place where you can copy and paste anything you need from the massive content and thorough legal explanations.

We left up what we wrote about Emanuel products in the past but we no longer believe it to be relevant or efficient in learning the law.

If you want to impress professors get an Emanuel law outline. If you want to get an A get something else.

What can we say: Emanuel law outlines are the best mini hornbooks money can buy. They are great and other than the obvious pandering to female students, they are well written. Of some of the titles we examined, a few of them are amazingly similar in outline structure and content to Black Letter Law Books from West. Amazingly similar.

From our understandings and concepts of how to learn the law, to call Emanuel law outlines a law outline is a big stretch. A law outline is not 800 pages long. Hornbooks are 1400-1500 pages and that is why we call Emanuel law outline mini hornbooks.

Emanuel law outlines are poor as a functional law outline. A law outline is meant to spoon-feed you the law that you need to know and possibly help you with the application of the law by a large bank of questions and answers. You need exam writing definitions and the law in a format that lends itself to easy memorization.

Emanuel Law Outlines are not Good for Exam Writing

Emanuel law outlines have questions and answers but not enough. Emanuel’s law outlines are also written to pander to female law students as they resort to she, and her instead of he or his. They were woke long before it was popular but in the real world woke gets you nothing. It is an established and accepted fact that he or his when used in law books automatically means she or her. We also point to the fact that while Emanuel law outlines are supposed to be the #1 selling law outline in the country, then why do so many students get such bad grades in their exam writing? We ask the same questions about all the vaunted bar review courses out there. If they are all so good why do so many student fail the hard to take bar exams???

There are few if any law school exam writing definitions and with Emanuel law outline being so big and voluminous they are not in a format to be memorized.

Emanuel Law Outlines are OK for Idiomatic Law

Emanuel law outline are ok for learning the law you don’t understand. If after you heard the discussions in class, and you talked to a few classmates and asked for different explanations and you still don’t understand the law, then get an Emanuel law outline. It is like a mini hornbook. We recommend to anyone who finds herself (we thought we should pander to female law students as well) in that position to get an Emanuel law outline. Emanuel law Series are cheaper than hornbooks and great to aid in your understanding of the law that you just can’t figure out.

That being said, the below average law student may have trouble with one course during their first year of law school. The average law student will have trouble with one or two concepts in a difficult course for them during their first year and the above average law student might just have no problems at all with any concepts in any course.

We rate the Emanuel law outline highly as mini hornbooks as they fulfill that function much better than being law Summaries. We highly recommend them for that purpose.

For first year students they have law outline titles for torts, contracts, criminal law, civil procedure, constitutional law and real property.
