A talisman for first year law students

This book and several others are the gold standard for supplements in law school. And don't listen to what anyone says, reading these books is not somehow cheating yourself out learning information from the cases. Case-analysis is a vital skill but it's not what law school exams test you on. They test primarially how well you can synthesize information over the course of a semester and then apply that synthesized information to the analysis of a fact pattern in a four hour exam. The E&E series generally mimics this process very well, but the Glannon Civil Procedure book is heads above the rest.

It's such a talisman for first year law students that anyone who advises against it should be regarded with grave suspicion.

The best book

I owe an A+ in Civ Pro to this book. It's the best study guide available.

The Best Civ Pro Book

Without this book, I would have been lost in Civ Pro. If you have a professor who has given you 10 variations of 1 hypo and but only gave you the answer to 5 of the variations, you will need this book; it provides variations AND answers. I have Joseph Glannon to thank for my A in Civ Pro.
