I took my crim pro final today. This study guide is okay. It is good for review- if you know the information, it is not good to help you make up for a whole semester's worth of being underprepared. If that is what you are looking for- I would look into a more comprehensive guide, or purchasing a course specific outline from a service.Beyond that, it crams a lot of information into a small amount of space. It touches on the major findings and the cases they come from. Not nearly detailed enough to actually teach you crim pro though. For that you need to read the case law or criminal procedure code.I am reviewing this study guide in an effort to help other customers by relaying my experience with the product and providing any insight I garnered. I would really appreciate that if you found my review helpful, that you would please indicate so below by clicking the YES button below.
What BarCharts are NOT: a comprehensive study guide. You cannot do well on a law school exam or bar exam relying solely upon BarCharts. That is not their purpose.What BarCharts ARE: a condensed overview of the black letter law. Use them as a quick reference to understand the material during the semester. Use them as a REVIEW of the material you (should) have already studied for the exam.In law school, BarCharts were the last thing I skimmed over before taking an exam. It's a good refresher.Same with the bar exam. I skimmed over my BarCharts both nights before the exam.
The Quick Study series is strong, with Criminal Procedure, Criminal Law and Constitutional Law standing head and shoulders above the rest as the strongest laminates of the series.These cannot replace the actual text or class material, but they come close. More importantly, what they do remarkably well is to give you a general overview and guide so you can understand where the material is going. Similar to the artist's technique where you have to create a vague rough sketch to understand proportion and relevance, these allow you to understand the significance of minutia and detail in the bigger schematic. Also great refresher if you are return after a long time away and your own notes don't make sense anymore.For the gunners out there, the laminate surface also makes these perfect to buy a second set to keep in the kitchen or bathroom for those "leisure time" study sessions.
This is a great compliment to my class notes. It has a quick few lines about each topic, and the cases that gave the standard. Very useful when studying for my closed-book exam.
This quick study guide became handy when developing attack sheets and outlines for Crim Pro. While Crim Pro is more about exceptions that rules, this quick reference allows for fast reminders that must be considered when writing your essays.
I attend a law school with a moderately hard curve (3.0 the first year and around 3.33 average) and this allowed me to focus my outline in an open book exam so that I got a B- in a class with a 3.0 curve (65+ people). Highly recommend it.
all of these bar charts are great tools to have to help get to the point of the subject. I recommend these to all students.
I'm studying for the bar. This is a great way to refresh before tackling practice exams and essays?
