Emanuel Law Outlines: Professional Responsibility (ISBN 0735562237)

Too barebones for the MPRE:
This supplement is about as barebones as you can get. There are no glaring omissions from the material covered, but this supplement simply does not convey as much depth as is necessary for a PR class or the MPRE. I took a PR class, then waited one year before taking the MPRE, and intended on using this book as my primary refresher. It became readily apparent that my plan would need a revision once I started comparing MPRE practice exams to this supplement. The MPRE tests for nuances in the rules--nuances that this book just does not acknowledge, nevermind discuss.

MPRE study guide:
The outlines themselves are helpful, but there is only one practice exam at the end, which does not provide explanations for right and wrong answers. For those looking to for more exam questions with explanations I would go for another book. I borrowed a friends BARBRI book on professional responsibility and found it much more helpful. There were four practice exams, all with explanations. The downside to the BARBRI books are that you need to sign up for all their bar revue texts in order to get this one, but if you are planning to take the bar exam it is not such a big deal; you will want the other books anyway.

did anyone edit this?:
OK for my purposes (studying for legal ethics final exam), but contains an embarrassing number of typos! I can't believe someone let this go to print.

It is useless book and just waste your money.:
This book just waste paper and guide you nothing. I used the free outline from pli site and watching its vedio together giving me a basic solid understanding on the subject. But I do not get that from this book. Two weeks ago, I got the Examples and Explanations on the same subject which give me a good understanding on the subject. If you need to buy one, I recommad the one from Examples and Explanations, and NOT this JUNK.

If there were a Model Rules of Writing, they would fail MR 1.1 for being incompetent:
Typos abound...probably one on each page. However, they don't get a 1 star just for that. The deal breaker is they ACTUALLY MATERIALLY MISSTATE THE MODEL RULES. There are sections in this book that tell you the opposite of what the Model Rules actually say. I found two such errors regarding conflicts of interest from third party control of a lawyer's independent judgment. Typos are one thing, but there is no excuse for these types of serious errors. Furthermore, the book is about twice as big as it needs to be. Half the time, they bold a statement as a "heading" and then just repeat nearly the same thing under the "heading" without any real elaboration. The do this in the capsule summary and the main portion. They also parrot back the capsule summary in the main portion without much elaboration. About the only redeeming quality is the examples that follow many of their statements of the law. However, if you want something like that, you can probably find other options that give you hypos and examples without the rest of the headache. Try an E & E...but BEWARE, they are created by the same company, so that too may be a waste of money. Regardless, don't come back to Emanuel until a second edition gets positive reviews.
