Well, the canned briefs are my own preference, as I really love using them to check my work - I write my brief then go to the Casenotes book to make sure I got it right. Those are the suggested ones that I listed above.

Are the Quick Review books outlines? I have the Emmanuel's outlines books for Family Law and so far I haven't needed it because I sort of seem to know it. My brain likes to retain this stuff. If those 3 books don't come in handy when school starts maybe I'll sell them. But many students told me they swore by the outlines. I honestly have no idea at this point.

Thanks for the suggestions on the hornbooks. I'll keep that in mind when school starts.
