they have hornbooks which are searchable. Pretty helpful.

I found supplements to be extremely helpful ONLY where the supplement is keyed to your textbook. I used the emmanuel outlines when they were keyed to my book, and they were extremely helpful. Have to also read the assigned readings and pay close attention in class, or you can make the mistake of "over-learning" from the supplement and regurgitating material the class didn't cover

Such as what? Just got access to both...
Go on west, hit secondary sources, texts/treatises, then browse by subject. There'll be solid run downs of the law you need in the various different books. Poke around.
