"Are those flashcards?" someone said to me the other day. "I used to use flashcards all the time. I haven't seen anyone using them in forever!" another person chimed in. "I wish I was organized enough to make flashcards," said a third person. "Did you type those?"
Are you kidding me? Law in a Flash, people! I have used these for practically every class, plus the MPRE. They are worth their weight in gold. Toss your Gilberts. I'm telling you, especially for statutory classes, Law in a Flash. They are not paying me, I just love them. I keep a stack of cards in my purse at all times when exams approach, just in case I have five minutes to kill.
On an entirely related note, the word "scrutiny" is starting to look strange to me. Scrutiny. Scrutiny. Doesn't it sound kind of dirty? Scrotum + mutiny = scrutiny.

It didn't, but now it will forever.
Are your exams open book or closed book? I didn't have a single closed-book exam at YLS, so I never really memorized anything. The bar gave me a taste of the drudgery I'd been missing.
Oh yes. I have a box of these for Contracts that I need to crack open tonight (better late than never - the exam is next Wednesday!)
Amen! We used Law in a Flash to play Trivial Pursuit last semester. It was helpful and much more fun than reading Gilbert's!
Jean - open book, but they're not 2+2=4 type flash-cards -- they have hypos on the front and explanations on the back.
Proto Attorney, great suggestion! Maybe I'll do that with tax.
This completely cracks me up. I will never read "strict scrutiny" the same again. Thankfully I've finished my con law requirements!
i loved the Law in a Flash series--especially the really strange facts they use!
