Brief/Outline Examples?

[farnsworth]

Inspired by GA_Kristi's post giving this link (http://people.qualcomm.com/rmartin/outlines.html) to some example outlines, I was wondering if anyone else knew of some sample outlines/briefs to look at and get some idea of what 1L's should be writing down and preparing when classes start.  Thanks!

I found another good site for briefs and outlines:

farn - holy *&^%!  those outlines and briefs are SO many pages long!  jeebus!

Are you going to print them all out and use them as a supplemental aid, or just make your own, and use them as guides?

The Jurist http://jurist.law.pitt.edu/

has links to this sort of stuff.

I don't plan on using them during the school year; I just want to have some idea of how 'most' people format their outlines and briefs so I have some idea what I'm doing myself.

With that said, I'm not so stupid as to think I can do it all myself without commercial outlines/hornbooks, which I'll probably purchase once I find out my 1st sem. class schedule.  (That, and probably some 2L/3L outlines if they had the same prof for the class)

Delaney's "Learning Legal Reasoning" apparently gives a good (according to PLS) method of case briefing replete w/ examples. I haven't read the book yet, but i'm ordering it.
