Con Law

What are the odds they'll have it on there again? But then, the bar examiners love Con Law essays...so if they do put it on there, what are the odds they'll put Freedom of Expression on it? Right? I'm thinking Fed State stuff, Dormant Commerce clause stuff...

To that end, I've found Whitney Roberts' Cheat Sheets to be extremely valuable. She really breaks it down in the format we should use on the essays. It's a totally different understanding of the topics. You know when you read an outline, you think you understand a concept, but then you go to write about it in an essay, and it becomes a mess. This book breaks it down, probably too much in detail. That's the difference between this book and Adachi's Bar Breakers -- BB books are like a genuine essay. No crazy headlines or anything! Whitney's are all about the headings and unfolding every little element. I'd have to lean towards Whitney's style, only because we've all heard about how little time the graders spend on our essays, and we want to be sure they understand us. They probably don't want to see long paragraphs that they have to muddle through.

That said, I'm losing momentum here. Must continue with the Con Law, but planning to focus on Fed State stuff. SIGH. At least Grey's is on tonight. Let one thing go right at least -- let Meredith live! =)
