Just wondering if it's just me. I think Glannon is funny.

I'm pretty stoked that I'm vaguely understanding what's going on.

Also - what do you guys recommend for authors. Does Glannon do a Contracts E&E?

I had these read by 8th grade. I think most law students did, tbh (might want to create a poll to be sure). I fear you're far behind in this race, though.

The contracts E&E is most useful as a paperweight or, perhaps, to level an unruly table. The crim and torts E&E's are good, though.

For contracts, get Chirelstein. I also don't believe there's a worthwhile con law supplement other than Chemerinsky (but I didn't really seek one out).

don't be a jerk.... no one I know read them before freshman year in college... so yeah, he's either lying or exaggerating...

I read them while I was still a fetus. You guys are really behind the game.

Please don't read these before law school! It is such a waste of time to do it away from the cases you'll be reading. Cram in as much fun as possible before 1L- you're going to need some stored up vitality for the coming year.

This is one argument where i am admitting at least partial defeat. I initially thought that it was crazy to say that intensely prepping wouldn't be very beneficial but having gone through the Torts E&E really thoroughly (taking notes, writing out long answers to all the examples) i have to say i don't really feel all the more prepared for the actual class. I think the E&E's will be a great way to see the forest for the trees, but i haven't seen the trees yet so it doesn't benefit me to pay super close attention to the details in the E&E.

I think all i'm going to do before school is try and get an overview of what lies ahead...more of a plan of attack rather than an actual knowledge base. I'll briefly skim the E&E's to get an idea of what lies ahead but i'm not gonna make any real effort to memorize any of it. The one thing i will pay some close attention to in the next couple of months is skills rather than content knowledge. I'm gonna read Learning Legal Reasoning do LEEWS etc, so that i can have a gameplan for the first semester rather than freaking out the whole time and then regurgitating a huge amorphous information dump on my exams.

Oh yeah, and i guess i have to take the GMAT...damn.

Hey, when Clarence Darrow is your great grandfather, there are high expectations. My little sister was briefing cases at 10 years of age. All I'm saying is that Sky better get this ball a'rollin'.

Assuming Fuqua accepts me then i'll probably go ahead and do it. I want to keep my options open for a career filled with indecision and constant change.
