Law school outlines
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Law school outlines are legal study aids. Typically, the outlines are created by law school students, however there are professional outlines also available. An outline typically provides a concise and direct statement of legal issues in a particular area of law, organized according to the typical law school curriculum. In some cases, outlines are organized according to specific professors or courses.[1] Outlines often remove many legal nuances and fact specific distinctions in case law to establish more generalized legal principles. Students must remember to be cautious before relying on outlines written by others found on online databases. They frequently come with copyright notices and may often be outdated. Many such sites also warn their users that relying on these outlines alone will not be sufficient to prepare for an exam and they should only be used as a supplement to the studying process.
Law school outlines help law students focus on the most important material they learned for the semester, and are helpful before an exam. They are necessary because it would be impossible to even skim over all of the material they are expected to cover in a semester.
