| Sum & Substance Audio on Torts by West Absolutely Freaking Awsome!! |
| As s first year law student you got to have these CDs. Finz is funny and to the point. I wish I had had these when I was in Business Law in undergraduate school. |
| Sum & Substance Audio on Torts by West Great overview |
| This is a great series. Overall, I think it really gets you ready to rock a torts exam. Despite my best efforts, I couldn't do most of the reading for my torts course and I believe this CD set saved me. No, it's not all that detailed at times, but it gets you into the torts mood and gives you a good understanding of the basic concepts, which you can then regurgitate on an exam with ease. The hypos are memorable too. I have a hard time reading for long periods of time, so CD series are generally a good way to mix it up and you can listen on your ipod on the subway and what not when you might not be able to read. Be careful with some of the professor's specific case examples, though -- sometimes he's a little off. For example, his description of the Tarasoff facts are not perfect. So don't go citing a case based on what he said. Also, for $70+ you'd think they could do more than one take. I hate when I can hear people swallowing their spit! There are a few gross moments like that when you really wish they'd hired a quality sound editor or done multiple takes. Generally, though, this product was very helpful to me. |
| Sum & Substance Audio on Torts by West Tort Law for Idiots |
| This tape explained tort law in everyday language that makes learning law not just rewarding, but fun. The author was able to break down the concept behind the law, mold it into your life experiences, and apply it towards what you are learning. Before this tape, I feared tort law, it has soooo many rules to remember, and not to cohere in any way. Now I love tort law, thanks to this tape. |
| Sum & Substance Audio on Torts by West A wonderful listen, but I was disappointed |
| I was so excited to listen to Professor Finz especially after all the great reviews from Amazon and my fellow law students. I discovered that his lectures were great, but because he tried to cover so many great torts topics in only 8 CD's, he lacked some substance that would have been more useful. I will admit that I bought this CD after already having one term of torts, and I wanted to listen to more obscure topics. I suppose I am comparing him to Professor Freer of Gilbert's Civ Pro, and how organized and down to earth he was. Still Finz is a great listen, and he did teach me several useful nuggets of wisdom, but I guess I was looking for the whole enchilada. |
| Sum & Substance Audio on Torts by West Kick in the Pants! |
I never conceived law lecture could be fun! His antics cool down by the last couple of CD's, but still fun. Very good sound quality.
Especially noteworthy are the routines on "Goat Named Tommy" and "Choking on The Chicken Bone!"
I found myself sharing some of these tracks with my girlfriend cuz they were so dam funny! |
