It absolutely works! (Tulsa, OK) January 27, 2006 - 5.0/5 stars
There are tons of material out there marketed to help you ace law school and thus enable you to secure a high-paying law gig after graduation.
Some are lengthy, some aren't. Some have bells and whistles. Some include weekend course attendance in some hotel conference room somewhere.
If you buy this book, read it, and apply its simple to grasp time honored principles, you'll do better on your exams.
You'll probably even get "A's"
I learned of it from "Planet Law School II" and bought it right before law school began.
I honestly tried my best to apply Professor Delaney's approach to my first semester finals and the results were extremely gratifying to me.
Look, first-year grades are vitally important! Why invest the tremendous expenditure of time and personal resources in law school without ensuring you know HOW to do well?
Trust me, your overall intelligence and undergraduate performance has very little to do with doing well on your exams.
It's perhaps cliche but nevertheless true to say that just knowing the law is not enough. All your classmates know the law too and you are measured against them, not some vaporous standard.
The secret is in showing the prof you have a clue when it comes time to apply it to a fact pattern under the pressure of exam conditions -- and can do so better than the next guy!
This book teaches you to do that and gives you good, solid methods for sharpening this critical law school skill. Go ahead, buy something else if it makes you feel better, but applying and practicing the contents of this book and its companion volume "Learning Legal Reasoning" (also by John Delaney) are all you need to get "A's" IF you also went to class, paid attention, and made yourself learn the black letter law.
Both these books have been around since the eighties, repeatedly freshened by the author and re-published when appropriate.
Do yourself a favor: buy the darn things and do what they tell you to do. You will not regret it.
