 A talisman for first year law students May 9, 2005
Bart Motes (Miami, Florida)
29 out of 31 found this review helpful
This book and several others are the gold standard for supplements in law school. And don't listen to what anyone says, reading these books is not somehow cheating yourself out learning information from the cases. Case-analysis is a vital skill but it's not what law school exams test you on. They test primarially how well you can synthesize information over the course of a semester and then apply that synthesized information to the analysis of a fact pattern in a four hour exam. The E&E series generally mimics this process very well, but the Glannon Civil Procedure book is heads above the rest.
It's such a talisman for first year law students that anyone who advises against it should be regarded with grave suspicion.
I concur fully with other reviews, this is the best May 5, 2000

This book is a necessity for anyone hoping to succeed in their civil procedure class. Before I read this book I couldn't tell an interpleader from and impleader, this book will even unravel the quagmire of the dreaded Erie doctrine. I could not recommend a book more strongly than I would recommend this one.
Best Civ-Pro review book on the market! December 14, 1999

In deciding which Civil Procedure study-guide to purchase, I considered at least 5 other options, none of which are even in the same league as Glannon's "Examples and Explanations." Glannon's writing style is thorough, yet concise. He manages to convey an excellent understanding of the basic concepts and theoretical underpinnings of the rules and doctrines relevant to an introductory Civil Procedure course, without getting bogged down in the more trivial details of the Federal Rules of Civil procedure themselves. One word of caution: This book will be most helpful to students whose Civil Procedure professor is predominantly interested in theory and conceptual understanding as opposed to the minute details of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. For the latter type of class, Arthur Miller's study guide may be more appropriate.
The BEST Civ Pro study guide available January 30, 2000

Listen up ALL 1L's: All the hype is ABSOLUTELY true about this book-- it was invaluable as a supplement to my Civ Pro course which I ACED! Thank you, Mr. Glannon, for writing such clear and concise explanations of some of the most complex issues I have ever dealt with. The chapter called "Hard Erie" is worth the price of the text alone. Do yourself a favor and if you buy no other study guides buy THIS one!
One of the Best Study Guides Written for ANY Subject August 23, 2001

As someone who bought and used a great many hornbooks and commercial outlines (some good and some just awful) during my law school career, I can say, without reservation, that Professor Glannon's Civil Procedure: Examples and Explanations is one of the two best study aides I used in ANY subject (the other being Emmanuels for Constitutional Law). Professor Glannon has written a profoundly clear, easy to understand, and at times, even humorous book that takes most of the mystery out of this difficult subject. The only thing I would say to people who have bought this book or are thinking about buying it is this - buy it - and use it right away. Don't wait until the end of the semester to cram it all in. Read the chapters in this book as you cover the subjects in class - and be sure to do all of the examples and read all of the explanations. This is one of the true gems available to help law students - and if you read it in conjunction with your coursework in this subject, you will be amazed at how much of your confusion it resolves for you. Don't miss this one folks!Robert H. Miller Author of "Law School Confidential: the Complete Guide to the Law School Experience By Students for Students"
