I am getting ready to start my 1L in a summer start program. I was wondering what some of you recommend for crim law supplementals.
Thanks in advance!

Dressler is well regarded as the best

That is what I have heard. Do you guys know if it varies much from edition to edition?

Not sure. I always buy older editions and compare to the library reserve copy. I had no issues.

I used an old $1 copy from Amazon. Super helpful.

Dressler hands down. I don't think the version matters too much. My edition was 2 editions older than the newest one.

Use Dressler religiously if your class casebook is also Dressler. Otherwise, Dressler's still pretty helpful, but make sure you go with whatever language your professor gives you in class. I feel like some of the terminology is slightly different.

Another vote for Dressler. The Crim Law E&E is shit, so don't even.

How do you feel about the two CrimPro E&Es?

I have no first hand experience with the crim pro supplements. In general, I've liked most of the E&E books.

Yeah, it's still helpfulMy class didn't use Dressler for casebook. I only used Dressler for the theft section and it was 180.
