“I think this is an excellent resource for first-year students. It addresses many critical issues for success in law school such as reading court opinions, doing legal analysis, and performing on exams. It offers concrete strategies to help students organize concepts, memorize rules, and prepare for exams. It makes extensive use of charts, graphs, and diagrams, all of which are very effective to help the reader.”
— Gerry Hess, Professor of Law, Gonzaga University School of Law, and Founding Director of the Institute for Law School Teaching

“Michael Schwartz has accomplished nothing less than the miraculous. . . . Expert Learning for Law Students provides what so many of us have searched for as the El Dorado of law school teaching — at last, a sound methodology that zeroes in like a laser beam on each of the discrete steps of the law-learning process and empowers students to master those steps incrementally.”
— Jeffrey Van Detta, Professor of Law, John Marshall Law School — Atlanta
