3 Best Property Supplements For Law School

September 21, 2019 By JD Leave a Comment

3 best property supplements
I’m going to let you in on a little secret that your law school professors don’t want you to know about. The easiest and most effective way to study, learn, and ace your final exam in property is to use a supplement. In fact, if all you do is attend lectures, brief cases, and join a study group you’re all but guaranteed to end up at the median of your law school class. So if you want to ace your property exam and finish at the top of your class, now is the time to get a copy of the best property supplements.

1. Examples & Explanations (Property)

Examples & Explanations (Property)
If you buy only one property supplement, then this is the one. Examples & Explanations (Property), written by Professors Burke and Snoe, is the best property supplement. In fact, I don’t know if I could have aced my property exam without it.

Here are three reasons why the Examples & Explanations (Property) supplement should be your go-to property study aid.

First, it takes difficult 1L property concepts and breaks them down into easy to digest, bite-size pieces. This is crucial for acing your property exam, trust me.

Second, the hypotheticals at the end of each chapter will help sharpen your legal reasoning skills and solidify key legal concepts. This is essential for learning to master property issue-spotter exams.

Third, it’s so well written and effective that you can practically forego reading your casebook. For all of these reasons and more, Examples & Explanations (Property) is, hands down, the best property supplement.

Hi, I’m JD. I graduated with Latin honors from a T14 law school and I’m currently a senior associate at a BigLaw firm. So I know exactly what it takes to succeed in law school and thrive as a new associate. If you want to do the same, then I can help. Check out my consulting page for more info.

2. Questions & Answers (Property)

Questions & Answers (Property)
I won’t mince words. Questions & Answers (Property) will help you master the ridiculously confusing “future interests” that 1L property professors love to torture law students with.

Practice makes perfect. And thanks to the Questions & Answers (Property) supplement, you’ll get all of the practice you need (and then some) to ace your property exam.

Written by Notre Dame Law School Professor John Nagle, Questions & Answers (Property) features 170 multiple-choice and short-answer questions, as well as a 50-question “practice exam.”

Not only will each question test your substantive knowledge throughout the semester, each answer will help crystallize why you chose the right (or wrong) answer.

In short, this supplement will help you crush your 1L property exam.

3. CrunchTime (Property)

CrunchTime (Property)
CrunchTime (Property) is a fantastic supplement for navigating your 1L property class. Written by attorney and Harvard Law graduate Steven Emanuel, CrunchTime (Property) will be your constant companion during property exam prep.

Here’s what you’ll love about the CrunchTime (Property) supplement.

The capsule summary will help you quickly absorb key concepts. Think of it as the property outline you wish you would have made throughout the semester.

In addition, the exam tips are on-point and definitely worth the price of admission. Want to know the answers your property professor is looking for on the final exam? This is the place to find them.

Finally, the short answer and essays questions are great for helping you prepare for your property final. It’s nearly impossible to ace your property exam without practicing hypos. So be sure to answer all of the practice questions the CrunchTime (Property) supplement has to offer.

How To Use The Best Property Supplements

As a current Biglaw associate and someone who graduated with honors from a T14 law school, here are my top three tips for how to use these property supplements to do your best in property.

First, find a property outline from one of your peers who took the class with your professor and aced the exam. Treat this outline like gold. It will serve as the roadmap for your property class.

Second, read the relevant section of the Examples & Explanations (Property) supplement before class and summarize the applicable law and policy in your outline. Be sure to include in your outline any nuances of law or policy your professor raises in class. As the semester progresses, use the Q&A or CrunchTime supplement to fill in any gaps in your knowledge.

Third, take several timed practice exams. This will help you develop the skills and confidence you need to do your best on test day. If your professor provides copies of his or her old exams, these should be your first choice. If not, use recent property exams from other professors. Here are some sample exams to get you started.

Law school isn’t easy but there’s no reason to make it any harder then it has to be. The guaranteed best way to save time and give yourself the opportunity to ace your final exams is to use law school supplements. I used them, and every top student I know used them as well.

So if you want to do your absolute best in property, then be sure to pick up some of these 3 best property supplements today.

All the best,

JD
