Most companies cram every possible piece of information into their outlines regardless of whether it is actually tested. Such information overload causes problems during the exam. Our book is comprised of "Comprehensive Outlines," "Primer Outlines," and "Issue Spotters." The "Comprehensive Outlines" are designed to be studied from until the last three weeks before the bar. Needless to say, they are comprehensive and explain the law in the way it should be written on the bar exam. The "Primer Outlines" are concise and are designed to make the most efficient use of your study time during the final weeks before the bar exam. They are structured to form an active approach that you can work through to make sure you hit all of the issues and maximize points. The "Issue Spotters" are short, one page checklists that are designed to be memorized prior to taking the bar exam. Exam takers use these checklists to make sure no issue goes uncovered.
