The Glannon Guide to Criminal Law: Learning Criminal Law Through Multiple-Choice Questions and Analy

I was please with the product. It was timely delivered, and it was in good condition. JC.

this glannon series is the best

I have found the series of "The Glannon Guide To ... " to be the best supplement. I read the case book, as well as this book, and used info from both to create my outline. I did read and look at other books, including Glannon E & E, but liked this one. I will say that if you read every page of the E & E, you will probably find at least one similar problem on your final, but it is harder to read, more time consuming, and more expensive. I used the same series for Civ Pro (avoiding E & E) and was happy with my grade. I pulled a C+ on the midterm without reading this book yet, and after reading this and the casebook, and outlining, I ended up with a B in crim law....and thats good enough for me!
