Your learning style and aptitude for law school exams are what will matter.

If you are good at exams, you might be ok. But you might fail miserably if the professor focuses on something that is only skimmed over in the hornbook. Using just other people's outlines would give you a better chance than a hornbook of course

You could read every case, read every outline for that class from other students you get your hands on, and you can read every supplement (e.g., hornbook, etc.) that you can find and still be bottom of the class.

Conversely, you can do almost nothing and be top of your class.

Your questions is not how things work.

How could you possibly think this is an answerable question?

"Having consulted the Oracle at Delphi, I have determined that you will definitely be at least median, and it is highly probable that you will be in the 38th percentile. Go in peace, my son."
