Summary: By far my best grade
Comment: Really simplifying the difficult things, I was very pleased. I know it's short, but that and the fact that I heard the opinions (and he makes it really clear that they are his opinions) of the author actually kept me interested.
Helped me wade through the really confusing stuff, and like i said, i did FAR better in contracts than other classes with more confusing and complicated hornbooks.
I have NO IDEA why they're including a review of the chinese translated version. . .that has no bearing on the utility of this book.

Summary: Something for the Whole Family
Comment: Most of the reviews are by law students, and I agree that this is an excellent study aid that (for any student with the potential to become a decent lawyer) is far more valuable than the usual commercial outlines. However, as someone who graduated law school in 1991, I can add that it also provides rare pleasure that is not to be missed by any member of that exceedingly small group composed of lawyers who actually are interested in the law. (For lack of a better analogy -- and I trust I won't be misunderstood -- the effect is a little like Rocky and Bullwinkle, something that manages to keep both the kids and the adults entertained, although on different levels.) It is hard to imagine a better opportunity to follow along as a truly great lawyer shows by example how one distinguishes cases, assesses what the court saw in the facts, and elaborates doctrine. This, in somewhat informal garb, is traditional legal analysis at its very best and accessible enough to make it painfully clear to everyone what we stand to lose through the invasion of our law schools by a bunch of PhDs peddling the latest academic fads. Any law student who wants to get some sense of what it means to be a real lawyer (you won't meet that many) should read this book.
I remember Chirelstein from my time at Columbia Law School as a somewhat distant figure, but when he appears in these pages it is hard to describe the sensation produced by such direct and complete access to a superior mind. Combine this with flowing, limpid prose, and the result is profound sadness that such books are so rare.

Summary: Top Notch Supplement to Case Texts
Comment: A perfect companion guide to your Contracts text... has overviews of those cases we will all learn to love (Contracts Best Hits) but not your average canned brief. This book gives you a great overview, rationals behind the big decisions, and all the while with a wit and humor rarely seen in the field of Contracts. Very strong on public policy, so you can have extra insight on exams. Worth every penny.
