I didn't really like Chemerinsky as much as everyone else did. I felt like it did a good job filling me in on important cases, but it didn't have as much analysis as I would have liked. Then again, I read it a while ago so I might be forgetting. I'm taking Con Law 2 now, is there a better one?

Also - anyone know about Public International Law? (lol). Something about the UN.

Also, to add: Civ Pro
I liked the E&E a lot, but I didn't read Freer like a lot of people suggested.

I found Inside Con Law, what matters + why to be a mini-chemerinsky of equal value.

+1.

I also thought the Glannon Guide was excellent.

Is your Con Law 2 an individual rights kind of class? I need a good supplement for individual rights/bill of rights/whatever material.

Yeah, exactly. I still have my Chemerinsky book but I'm looking for something else too. Usually I just read supplements a couple days before the exam. What I think I'll do with Con Law 2 is read Chemerinsky throughout the semester along with the text book to help me understand cases, but read a different one at the end of the semester like I usually do.

Any suggestions for a survey intellectual property course? There are a couple of threads on TLS, but I didn't find anything too informative. Some suggest Emanuel's, others the E&E.

by the way, tyft Jessuf

My prof wrote the Emanuel's & Crunchtime so I used them. I liked them a lot, but I guess that's because of how closely related it was to everything we learned. I found them useful though and they helped flush out a lot of things we went over in class that all went over my head.

Cool -- are they comparable? Or are they sufficiently different such that I should look into picking up both?

Emanuel's is like 10x longer and more in depth and still has practice questions. I bought both because I'm a supplements whore.

I've been consulting this thread....

In a related note, I'm looking to buy a copy of Cherminsky Con Law. PM me if you can hook it up!

Any suggestions for Leg Reg or International?

For Leg Reg I used Mastering Statutory Interpretation....Aced the course.

It doesn't go into too much detail for the Chevron stuff....for that I would check out some other administrative law supplements listed on the forum.

I highly recommend the Glannon Guide for a Bankruptcy class.

sum and substance AUDIO on conlaw got me from the C range to the A range... outdated but invaluable...

Just wanted to echo that chemerinsky is absolute gold IMO. Like the poster above said, it's insanely long, but I think Erwin does a great job of simplifying the material, tying it all together, and giving you the key principles/concepts that apply in each area of the law. Also felt like the torts e&e is good fwiw, but torts is 100x simpler than con law and a supplement may not be necessary at all.

cherminfskys horn book ok to replace reading in non-cherminfsky text, and to avoid reading cases? i can't understand 19th century writing in an impacting way.

Someone tell me something to read for remedies.

Anyone have any suggestions for Evidence? Didn't see it mentioned in this or the 1L supplement thread.

For evidence, I used Emanuel's and got an A-. I didn't use the textbook for studying before the final.

Generally, yes, but obviously, it might depend on your professor.
