Siegel's Torts: Essay & Multiple Choice Questions & Answers, 5th Edition

This book will do wonders to your law school tort's essay. If there is a rule or a tort that you are not sure how to put into words this book will help you solidify it. The book gave the structure and depth needed to my essays. All in all, Torts was a great success with the help of this book. The book divides its self into essays regarding only a few topics at a time, this helps you understand how to start and write essays depending on topic!If you have a teacher who gives multiple choice tests I am sure that this will help!Good Luck Lawschoolers!

If you're a 1L looking for something to supplement your preparation for your upcoming Torts exam, this book is excellent! Whether your test is essay or multiple choice, this book covers both and has very thorough explanations of all the answers. Highly recommended. I just finished my Torts exam, and I feel like this book really helped me prepare.

It all depends om your professor but this is a good practice book. Always make sure to know what your professor prefers. Sometimes the question did contracdict what my professor wanted me to learn but iin general its a good book.

I have to update the review of this book - I still do not like the essays, they are too perfect, and I am not going to write that way on the essays - however, and this is big - for the FYLSX in California, I have found at least one MCQ in each of Siegel's books on Torts, Contracts and Criminal Law which are EXACTLY the same on the MCQ section of the FYLSX! In this regard, this might just up my rating to about a five star or more rating!We have to master why the right answers are right and why the wrong answers are wrong - in this regard, the Siegel's books offer us that explanation. There are only about 100 MCQ's in each book, so it won't take too long to practice the MCQ's and study why we answer the way we do... I wish I had noticed this sooner.

There are not many books on the market that have good single topic - multiple choice questions for something like MBE prep. This book could fill that gap but the questions are confusing. The author conflates issues. His questions are too long. His explanations are confusing. Sometimes his answers are just plain wrong, sometimes they are so poorly worded that the answers do not make sense. Occasionally, it seems like he updated the questions without updating the explanation from one edition to the next - the characters in the hypo will have different names or the facts in the answer will not match those of the question.If you suffered through law school you will be familiar with professors who just do not care if students understand or not. There are also professors who delight in keeping students confused all semester, rather than teach them the law (they claim this teaches students to think like a lawyer, as if such a low standard would be tolerated in any other profession.) Siegel no longer teaches nor does he update these books with his name on them. Instead he sends emails to new bar admittees in California offering to be their recruiter. I'd steer clear of anything associated with such sloppy work. He clearly does not care if students learn the law based on the book with his name on it. I doubt he will be of any value as a recruiter, either.The essays also lack something that would be of great value to students. Would it be too much to have good answers, mediocre answers and poor answers to one or two essays? It is pretty painful to start writing essays and only be able to compare them to the professor's ideal answer. We could mark our progress if we had some C, B- or B+ answers to compare to. Nor do we have any idea about how long each answer should take a student to write. The professor's model answer in most cases will take most students way more than an hour. Would it be so hard to simply write 45 minutes, 30 minutes, or 90 minutes at the end of each essay question? That is what the writers would do if they had any intention to be the least bit helpful to students. Instead what you get is a professor's answer that the vast majority of students could never hope to produce, could never write on time and cannot use to improve.

Awesome to use for Contracts review. Many areas point out major things for one to remember. Great to use to ensure one's outline covers everything needed to study.

It seems very basic but a good place to start. Good practice book specially the MBE's are very good and sometimes difficult.

Good supplement good for 1L year
