Civ Pro, How do I teach myself?
Ok, I probably should have learned my lesson by now after the countless advice to skip case reading, but I have just been doing assigned class readings for Civ Pro I, and when I come to class, the professor is all over the map. I'm just not putting the big picture together between class and the readings.
Is there another source I should focus on beyond reading cases to teach myself Civ Pro??

The E&E is solid gold.

This is all fantastic advise ESPECIALLY if you're using the freer casebook (which I did). Also I've heard glannon guide is gold too but the E&E is sufficient.

I read more in the E&E than my casebook and did well in CivPro. I had lots of "aha!" moments re: pjdx, smjdx, venue thanks to the E&E.Renzo wrote:The E&E is solid gold.

It is amazing how unclear things can be in class and then how clear they can be made when you read the E&E. Almost like you are talking about two completely different things.

Re: Civ Pro, How do I teach myself?
Where can one access these barbri lectures? Also, if it's super super super confusing, check out the legalines keyed to your casebook. They essentially give you your case notes and you can focus on the concepts themselves instead of wasting hours trying to parse it all out (I know for myself, I can already read a court opinion and pick apart the logic with a couple passes, but why waste my time continually doing this when I could expedite it on things which aren't super f'n crucial?)

Re: Civ Pro, How do I teach myself?
You need to be a BarBri member, like sign up to take their bar review course. Then it is in the online materials on their website. If you aren't a member, ask a friend who is a member if they would be willing to share their password and username with you.traehekat wrote:+1.savagedm wrote:Where can one access these barbri lectures?

I was exactly in your situation. I read every assigned case, but didn't really understand what was going on. I was missing the big picture on everything. Then, a few weeks before the final exam, I grinded through every E&E chapter related to the material we covered in class. It clarified everything, and wasn't hard to absorb since I had the background of the case readings.

The $50 fee to be a member was worth it and then some. Once you login, there is a link to 1L lectures.jbarl1 wrote:You need to be a BarBri member, like sign up to take their bar review course.

Co-signed. The Freer lectures on BarBri are super-credited. There's also a helpful outline floating around the internet on docstoc that presents a lot of the things in flowchart format that I found helpful.
