The set saved my life. I just took my first-semester finals and I think I did well--thanks to the tapes. I am the kind of person who doze off in front of books, but tapes keep me awake. More importantly, instead of miring you down in nitty-gritty points, the tapes focus on the important stuff, the most frequently tested areas and they warn you of traps in such a way that the warnings jump out in your brain during exams!

I listened to these tapes on the way to and from campus during my 20 minute commute every day in my car. They are one of several tools that really helped me. They will help you get better grades!

The professors on the tapes give you the information directly, not inefficiently like the professors do in class by teaching you the cases. You will not be tested on the cases. You will be tested on the law. This is a great supplement.

These were a phenomenal tool for review during reading period before exams. They helped me outline and calmed my nerves. The professors are the best in the field and funny, (especially the property professor!) You will feel more relaxed and confident after listening to these.

Subjects included are Civ Pro; Crim; Torts; Property and Contracts.
