the cases you read in your casebook. High Court Case
Summaries are written to present the essential facts,
• Keyed to all major casebooks
• Exclusive memory graphic helps you
remember the case at a glance
• Headnotes briefly summarize the importance

concise manner.
High Court Case Summaries are not only the
best-written case briefs – they are also the most
comprehensive. Every concurring and dissenting
opinion is briefed. Plus the thorough Analysis section
gives you the contextual background that ties each
case to the broader concepts being developed in
your casebook.
Best of all, because High Court Case Summaries
are directly keyed to the most widely used casebooks,
there’s probably one for your book. Save time, gain a
competitive edge, and be confident in your grasp of
the issues. Study more efficiently with High Court
Case Summaries.

CASE BRIEFS
LEGALINES
• Titles track the casebook, so the topics
discussed and the briefs provided follow the
order they are presented in the casebook
• A table of cases helps you quickly find the
cases you are looking for
• The outline format reveals how all the cases
relate to each other
The only series that gives you both case briefs and a
review of blackletter law
Legalines provide authoritative, detailed briefs of every
major case in your casebook, with clear explanations of
the facts and issues, the court’s holding and reasoning,
plus any significant concurrences and dissents.
Each Legaline features expert commentary that
explains the significance of each case and analyzes its
relationship to the other cases in the casebook.
Legalines are perfect for class preparation. A table of
cases indicates where to find principal cases as well as
incidental cases so you can find what you need quickly.
The outline format reveals how all the cases relate to
each other.
“ ... since the actual cases in the
casebook are so long, it’s very
helpful to have a short brief to look
at. ... The fact that this study aid
[Legalines on Corporations (Keyed
to Eisenberg)] is actually tailored
to the casebook my class is using
is also tremendously helpful.”

arrive in the practice of law. Scholarly and definitive,
issues and future directions.
Hornbooks make great reference guides, citing
landmark cases, statutes, and articles. The many
footnotes to primary law and secondary sources are a
good starting point when conducting legal research.
The ultimate supplement to your classroom
discussions and casebook studies, Hornbooks are
recommended by professors more than any other study
aid. Even practicing attorneys turn to Hornbooks for
questions about the law. A great resource and a
great investment, Hornbooks deliver information you
can trust throughout your legal career.

blackletter law
Black Letter Outlines are written by recognized
national authorities to help students identify and
understand the basic principles and issues of law.
• Can be used as both a study aid when
prepping for class and as a review when
preparing for an examination
• Offers both a comprehensive outline
and a capsule summary for review
• Helps you prepare for final exams with
true/false, multiple choice, and essay
review questions
“ What a difference it made
[Mullenix: Black Letter Outline on
Civil Procedure] ... My professor,
Black Letter Outlines succinctly state legal rules
and exceptions, and also provide citations to the
major texts, so you can study individual points
of law in depth.
Black Letter Outlines feature a highly detailed capsule
summary – an abbreviated review of all the key
concepts – and a table of contents. Use both when
creating your own review outlines, or as a quick and
comprehensive review before finals.
The review questions are another great way to prepare
for final exams. The true/false, multiple choice,
and essay questions ready you for any kind of exam
situation. Plus, the answer key clearly explains why
the selected answer is correct, so you are sure to
understand the reasoning.
