this glannon series is the best
I have found the series of "The Glannon Guide To ... " to be the best supplement. I read the case book, as well as this book, and used info from both to create my outline.

I did read and look at other books, including Glannon E&E, but liked this one. I will say that if you read every page of the E&E, you will probably find at least one similar problem on your final, but it is harder to read, more time consuming, and more expensive. I used the same series for Civ Pro (avoiding E&E) and was happy with my grade.

I pulled a C+ on the midterm without reading this book yet, and after reading this and the casebook, and outlining, I ended up with a B in crim law....and thats good enough for me!

A little too basic
This study guide is really only helpful as an easy review of crim law or as a basic explication of already-simple concepts. If you paid no attention in crim law the whole semester and never read the casebook, then this is your study aid; it speaks only to the most basic level of each concept. The most ridiculously easy example comes to mind, "assume the defendant admits she intentionally and maliciously killed a person. However, she offers as a defense that she though she was killing a Yankee's fan but killed a Dodger's fan instead. Under the definition of the crime [murder], the mistake is irrelevant." This is the author's example of what mistakes of fact don't count as a defense....pretty obvious. The multiple-choice questions in the book are pretty elementary as well; even the supposedly-hard "closers" are pretty obvious the minute you read the question if you paid attention at all in class. I'm really not sure what sort of help this study aid gives other than as a casebook substitute.
