Barbri 1L modules/ CALI lessons?

Post by supersplittysplitter » Tue Sep 22, 2015 1:33 pm

I have access to both of these online programs and I was wondering what the TLS consensus is regarding their usefulness. The Barbri outlines seem pretty vague but the video lectures have helped clear up a few points, even if they are a bit long. Has anybody had success using online lectures as supplements?

Freer's Civ Pro Barbri lecture was the most helpful thing I could have done 1L year for Civ pro- Watched it gradually during the semester and a couple times before exams. Feel out the lecturers and see what works for you. As far as CALI exercises, I found them to be marginally helpful in black letter law classes like Torts and Crim, but not so much in some other courses.

I remember the Barbri 1L outline book being useful, but not which classes it was useful for. Use it for review and gap filling, not a substitute for going to class.

CALI lessons are extremely useful for some subjects and not at all for others. I can't really remember which ones though.
