Reddit reviews Civil Procedure, 7th Edition (Examples & Explanations)

Supplements aren't essential, but they can be one of many tools you use. I rely heavily on supplements and have done very well in law school. Here are the one's I used for those courses:

Civil Procedure: The Glannon Guide and the E&E (also by Glannon).

Criminal Law: Understanding Criminal Law by Dressler.

Property: Understanding Property by Sprankling and Siegel's Property.

I highly recommend the Examples and Explanations book for Civ Pro. Even an old edition (cheaper) will do a fine job of helping you work through the fundamentals.

I am not sure which of these you are asking for but here goes:

From the headline of your post you are looking for California Court Rules- and that you would find online.

But your text asks for basically a summary of a law school class. There are lots of these, for example: here or here . I bet you could get old editions on ebay for next to nothing and for your purposes that is good enouhg.

Another version, the kind lawyers actually use, is called a horn book, and you could find that at a public legal library. Anyone can enter them, just not borrow. They are not set up in a narrative type form so they are more reference books for specific issues. I think you are looking for an overview and this is really granular.

I think the 'in a nutshell' summary is what you want though.

What classes specifically? Here are a few that I remember being helpful last semester:

• Conlaw: Chemerinsky book
  
• Crim: Understanding Criminal Law (if you're using the Dressler textbook)
  
• CivPro: Find the Freer/Barbri videos. Civ Pro E&E is also helpful in the weeks before finals
  
• Torts: Emanuel's Torts book

This is along the lines of something that I’ve been told could help. In theory it gets us comfortable with what we will be reading during L1.
