Summary

New from Emanuel: The CrunchTime Series Life-Saving Help in the Final Days Before Exams Here's what you get in every CrunchTime: A Capsule Summary of about 100 pages, summarizing all the key concepts in easy-to-read outline form. Exam Tips, drawn from our exclusive, painstaking analysis of exactly what has been asked on literally hundreds of past essay and short-answer law exams. Find out what tricks and traps profs actually put on exams - focus your studying on exactly what profs are likely to ask, not on the stuff that they don't care about! Flow Charts, a great way to analyze any problem in the subject. For instance, In Con Law, you'd start with a 6-page overview, 'How to Analyze Any Con Law Problem'. Then, you'd continue with separate Flow Charts on 'Powers of the U.S. Congress', Substantive Due Process', 'Equal Protection', 'Freedom of Expression', and much more. Over 100 Short-Answer and Multiple-Choice Questions, each with an extensive explanation - not just the answer, but why it's the answer. Complex issue-spotting Essay Questions, each with an extensive model answer. Learn how to spot the subtle issues. And how to argue both sides of a gray area. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
