I got this because it was keyed to Dukeminier, but found it was also keyed to other textbooks as well. It is arranged purely in an outline format and I found it helpful for review. Most of the cases my class studied were covered by this outline. I will say, however, that I probably would have gone with the Gilbert's if I had to do it again- I had to borrow my classmates version when I came to a few of the stickier areas of the law. The Gilberts was more of a summary of the restatement, which just seemed to work better for my particular course.

I found that the Flashcards, made by the same company, were actually more useful. You can stare at an outline all you want, but you need to learn how to apply these rules in new situations. Your coursework and self-prepared outline should get you to the point where you know the law but mastering it requires practice and repetition.

In short, this is a fine study aid, but there are better ones out there. Don't just buy it because everyone else has a supplement - think about what your professor emphasizes in class and find a supplement that will complement it well. All in all, I think flash cards are the most effective study aid.
