1.Calamari and Perillo on Contracts (Hornbook Series Student Edition) by: Joseph M. Perillo, John D. Calamari 2003-08
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $75.00 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $60.73 You Save: $14.27 (19%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $49.00
"Hornbooks" are summaries of a body of law used by angst-ridden law students to amplify and clarify the often arcane materials contained in Casebooks. The law of Contracts is one of the primary building blocks of a first year legal education, along with Property and Torts. Almost every 1L has a small library of these dark green encyclopedic volumes that weigh in by the kilogram. CALAMARI AND PERILLO ON CONTRACTS is one of the few Hornbooks (along with PROSSER AND KEETON ON TORTS) that is considered an acceptable, though not authoritative, treatise for purposes of legal citation. Of course, cases themselves trump any other source material. This is a very good, albeit very, very dense discussion of the Law of Contracts, which is one of the most intellectually challenging ...

2.Contracts in a Nutshell (In a Nutshell (West Publishing)) by: Anthony M. Skrocki May 30, 2006
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $29.00 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $26.10 You Save: $2.90 (10%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $18.95
I got this book halfway through the semester when I realized I didn't understand anything that was going on in my contracts class. It's easy to understand and very helpful. The sample questions at the back were really useful, too. I haven't gotten my exam grade back yet, but I'm positive that this book helped me get a better grade than I would have received without it.

3.Criminal Investigation (Hornbooks) by: Wayne Bennett 1987-01
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.40
Today I've found in my mail the Study Guide for Benett & Hess's Criminal Investigation. It was a shock! It is the first time in my life I see an empty book. It seems a copybook. The text too, is very poor of information. Is completely useless. It was un error to buy it. I was convinced to buy a textbook. This was an error of mine, probability because the reviews of the workbook are mixed with those of the textbook and the average is calculated using all of them (I hope this happened by error). Pay attention. By the way, I've found an use for the mine: I've put it under the short leg of the shelf in my attic. Who said that it is an useless book.

4.Civil Procedure (Hornbook Series) by: Jack H. Friedenthal; Mary Kay Kane; Arthur R. Miller May 27, 2005
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $75.00 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $54.81 You Save: $20.19 (27%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $51.38
This text contains more information than the average 1L will cover in a civil procedure course, but this text is an excellent summary on the most commonly tested areas (pleadings, discovery, federal jurisdiction, etc.)Recommended as a review and/or supplement to any text.

5.Immigration Law and Procedure in a Nutshell (Nutshell Series) by: David S. Weissbrodt, Laura Danielson 2005-01
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $30.00 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $27.00 You Save: $3.00 (10%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $24.70
The most difficult thing about studying any body of laws resides, not in its substance, but in its presentation. One advantage of immigration law is that it relies heavily on fairly stable categories. This book should help anyone but the most impatient to build a first outline of the main categories of immigration law--with helpful annotations. 15 chapters: 1-4 (background information--including history and constitutional law); 5 (immigrant visas), 6 (nonimmigrant visas), 7 (zooms on student visas--a sub-category of nonimmigrant visas), 8 (removal--formerly "deportation"), 9 (inadmissibility), 10 (refugees/asyless), 11 (international law), 12 (citizenship), 13 (zooms on rights of aliens in general), 14 (criminal aspects of immigration law), 15 (ethical practice). My main advice ... Read More

6.Principles of Contract Law (Concise Hornbook Series) (Hornbook Series Student Edition) by: Robert A. Hillman April 22, 2004
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $41.00 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $40.18 You Save: $0.82 ( 2%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $39.15
A must for those clueless 1Ls who finish their semester and go into finals thinking, "huh?" about Contracts. Although I guess I should include the disclaimer that the book is probably just useful as an companion to Summers and Hillman's casebook.

7.Prosser and Keeton on the Law of Torts (Hornbooks) by: Dan B. Dobbs, Robert E. Keeton, David G. Owen 1984-08
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price:
P&K is a classic as far as hornbooks go, and very useful as a study aid for a 1L torts class in my opinion. Though significantly longer and written in more cryptic language than a typical study aid (like "Emmanuel's" or "Explanations & Examples") P&K contains far more information. There is a reason why even the casebooks cite P&K when trying to illustrate difficult to comprehend points. As many have pointed out it still in the 5th edition and hasn't been updated since 1984, and as a result has fallen a little bit behind the times (esp. on products liability) but overall it is still very relevant. I haven't taken the time to read Dobbs' newer treatise on torts so I'll withhold judgment over which is better. It is kind of pricey and long but if you have the time and money to devote to this book, it ... Read More

8.The Law of Corporations: In a Nutshell (In a Nutshell (West Publishing)) by: Robert W. Hamilton 2000-09
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $33.00 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $32.34 You Save: $0.66 ( 2%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $20.35
This book offers an excelent summary of Corporations. It has an easy vocabulary and it is very well organized. However, it does not have any margins. In short, I really recommend it as a second source to improve your studies of Corporate Law.

9.Criminal Law (Hornbook Series) by: Wayne R. Lafave 2003-07
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $75.00 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $73.50 You Save: $1.50 ( 2%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $49.31
This hornbook is the master work on substantive criminal law, frequently cited by all courts, including the United States Supreme Court. It analyzes all the questions that are not peculiar to a particular state. Where different views are presented by various states, that's covered. The hornbook weighs in on questions where there are differences of opinion, in numerous references to the "better view," without denigrating the positions that are not designated as the "better view." Anyone who orders this hornbook will be dazzled by the clarity with which it addresses a complex subject: substantive law.

10.Principles Of Property Law Concise Hornbook: An Introductory Survey (Hornbook Series Student Edition) by: Herbert Hovenkamp, Sheldon Kurtz, Ralph E. Boyer 2005-02
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $41.00 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $40.18 You Save: $0.82 ( 2%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $28.09
This book was one of the best study aids I have ever found for any of my law school courses. It gave the black letter law and then specific examples applying that law. I highly recommend this for Property class!
