Commercial Outlines

The other day, over at Nuts & Boalts, I commented on what I think are the closest things to "mandatory" commercial outlines.

I suggested at least two:
1. The Glannon's Civ Pro Examples & Explanations, which breaks down Erie into bite size parts, and also handles the well-pleaded complaint rule magnificently; and

2. Chemerinsky's Aspen constitutional law hornbook, which could substitute for genuine reading in most basic con law classes. Unfortunately, his BarBri lectures can occasionally be very irritating.

But I was questioned by an anonymous commenter...

"I want to know if wt's comments are just a personal opinion. Does anyone else have an opinion?"

Fortunately, someone else came to my defense with the best form of argumentation--mockery...

"If you're asking about commercial outlines, I'm going out on a limb here to say that wt's posts are "just [his] personal opinion[s]."

He has no empirical studies, logical proofs, or scientific support for his commercial outlines suggestions.

His blog comments have never been been peer-reviwed, nor have they caught the attention of the main-stream media.

Caveat Emptor."

Thanks anonymous.

I am currently completing my PhD thesis on the validity of WT's opinions. The methodology is quite rigorous. Please see my forthcoming article in the British Journal of Commercial Outlinery.
