Outlines

Here's some of my outlines, do whatever you want with them.  I do however, suggest that you DO NOT rely on any outline that you have not prepared yourself.  In my opinion, studying someone else's outline will not help you.  So, make your own outline and if you need to, use one of my outlines to supplement it.  One more thing, I highlight parts of my outlines where I am not sure about the law or missed a class; if you see something that is highligted, double check it.

Hess: Civil Procedure I & II This is less of an outline and more of an exam resource.  Since Hess exams are open book/open note, the key to success is having all the answers available quickly.  This resource is set up to be stapled into packets that represent the different sections of civil procedure covered by the class.  For example, when faced with a discovery question you would grab the discover packet, the front page tells you the rule numbers, cases, and page numbers you can find them on.  Using this method I only missed one of the multiple choice questions on the final exam, and that was because I misread the question.  The outline works.

DeWolf: Torts I & II Pretty comprehensive outline for DeWolf's class.  I had one of the top grades first semester, and tied one other student for the highest grade second semester.

Davidson: Contracts I & II This one is pretty lengthy, but Davidson wants you to know the law cold.  I actually got an A first semester, and would have done the same second semester if I would have remembered to answer all the questions on the exam; oops.

Kelley, Clarke, McCurdy: Property I'm not sure how usefull this outline will be.  My class was shuffled between professors for a variety of reasons, but we managed to cover most of the required topics.

Rowland: Short Evidence Outline and Long Evidence Outline The long outline has most everything in it, the short outline is basically a list of the rules organized by subject.

Murphy: Individual Income Tax If you are going to use this outline, you may want to make a table of contents.  I have a hand written table of contents that I will post if I can find some time to scan it, but it isn't hard to make your own.  List the major topics, referrence them to the IRC sections, and cross referrence that to the page number of the outline; it works pretty well.

Murphy: Trusts and Wills More information than you could every want to know about trusts and wills.  There are a few subjects that Murphy likes to test: modification and revocation of wills, intestate succession, and formation/interpretation of trusts to name a few.

Williams: Criminal Procedure You may have noticed from my other outlines that I usually follow the table of contents in the text book.  In this outline there are many sections that have bold headings, but don't have any notes.  These are sections that were assigned reading, but were not discussed in class.  None of the material that was assigned but not discussed, showed up on the exam.
