Course Outlines and Other Resources
The SBA posts outlines of classes made by students in prior years to supplement a student's own case summaries and notes. These can be very helpful study aids as you prepare for exams. Note that the content of these student-authored outlines has not been checked by the SBA or faculty for errors and misstatements so use your discretion when using them.
The Law School's library subscribes to West Academic Study Aids (includes Hornbooks, Nutshells, Gilbert Law Summaries, and Blackletter Outlines) and Aspen Learning Library (includes Examples & Explanations), Emanuel Law Outlines, Glannon Guides, Emanuel CrunchTime, and Casenote Legal Briefs) so that students can access them free of cost.
