supplements Forum

[UML]

I'm going through orientation. From 2Ls and 3Ls I keep hearing that outside reading materials (supplements, horn books, prof.'s articles/books, etc.) are pointless and that we shouldn't use them at all, or perhaps only when we're reviewing for finals. This is in sharp contrast to what I've read in the how-to-succeed guides on TLS. Are the upperclassmen just posturing? Does TLS over-hype supplements and "outside" materials? Read in Jerry Seinfeld's voice: What's the deal with supplements?

I for one have only discussed supplements IRL on a one-on-one basis. I wouldn't be surprised if it were posturing but then I am not a 2/3L

Forum search. Repeat as necessary.

Nah but I think it is a fair question that I at least haven't seen on the main supplements thread. Is there a reason for the difference between TLS and IRL beyond posturing?

You will normally get more out of E&E than you will the casebook. As for other supplements, it depends on the course but you can usually pick them up cheap used.
