I rented... never did it before, but staring down 160 bucks for used books made me say "fuck that".

Also asking for advice for this
Abraham is an all-star. I heard mixed (leaning negative) reviews about F-M's Con Law class last year, but I have no idea how he is in Crim. Moran is amazing. She's makes the class seem demanding at first, but that's just to scare you into not being completely blowing it off. She's actually incredibly nice and helpful.

Section I
Contracts - Choi
Crim Law - Coughlin
Torts - Harrison
Civil Procedure - Garrett
LRW - Buck
Coughlin is simultaneously amazing and frustrating, in that she tends to let gunners run the class. Harrison is interesting - you'll figure out what I mean by that. There is no other way I can describe him.
Moran is the best LRW prof, but Buck is ok.

Also what supplements for Nelson (CivPro), White (Torts) and Kordana (Ks)?
Lastly, is the Lawyers Craft necessary? I just bought the bluebook for now.

I usually wait a couple of weeks after the first class to get a feel for what the professor teaches. Then, I go to the law school bookstore and browse supplements to see which one is best aligned with the professor's lectures. Then, I go to half.com or amazon.com to buy the previous revision of that supplement for about $5 + shipping.

For Abraham's class, I'd recommend The Forms and Functions of Tort Law, written by an insightful fellow named Kenneth Abraham.
Seriously though, if you're in Abraham's class, do not read a single page of anything but the case book and Abraham's book. Anything else is worse than a waste of time.

Also, we have an 8:50AM class on Friday? Followed by two more? Is this some sort of sick joke? That's 3 more Friday classes than I was expecting.
And this may be a stupid question, but is there a place online where we can see which books we need to get? The bookstore has them laid out by section, but there's gotta be an easier way than walking over there and writing each one down...
