If you’re in your first year of law school, you’ve probably heard the same advice over and over again: make your own outlines. And while outlining is a great learning tool, the reality is that 1Ls are often drowning in casebooks, cold calls, and trying to keep their head above water.
That’s where a quality set of outlines can make all the difference.
I’ve put together a complete 1L Outline Bundle that covers every core subject you’ll face in your first year. It’s designed to save you time, keep you organized, and help you focus on actually learning the law — not just formatting it.
What’s Inside the 1L Bundle
This bundle includes eight comprehensive outlines — the same subjects tested on law school finals and the bar exam:
- Civil Procedure – jurisdiction, pleadings, motions, discovery, trials, appeals.
- Contracts – formation, defenses, performance, breach, remedies, UCC vs. common law.
- Torts – intentional torts, negligence, strict liability, products liability, defenses, damages.
- Criminal Law – actus reus, mens rea, homicide, defenses, inchoate crimes, accomplice liability.
- Property – estates, future interests, adverse possession, landlord–tenant law, servitudes, takings, transactions.
- Constitutional Law – judicial review, separation of powers, federalism, individual rights, equal protection, due process.
- Evidence – relevance, character evidence, impeachment, hearsay (and every major exception), privileges, experts.
- Business Associations (Corporations/Agency) – agency law, partnerships, fiduciary duties, board governance, shareholder rights, veil piercing, derivative suits, LLCs.
Each outline includes:
- Black-letter rules that professors want to see on exams.
- Key case names with concise rule statements.
- Policy notes so you can argue both sides like a pro.
- Exam tips and attack outlines to help you write structured, high-scoring answers.
Why This Bundle Works
Instead of spending dozens of hours formatting, cross-referencing, and trying to build an outline from scratch, you’ll get a ready-to-use framework that’s already comprehensive and exam-ready.
That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t take your own notes — you absolutely should. The smartest way to use these outlines is as a base structure: add in your professor’s hypos, class nuances, and favorite cases. That way you’re not reinventing the wheel, just making it your own.
Students who’ve used outlines like these consistently say they:
- Feel less overwhelmed before finals.
- Spend more time practicing exam questions (which is the real key to doing well).
- Walk into exams with confidence because they have a clear roadmap.
The Value
Individually, each outline is priced at $14.99. That means the full set of 8 would cost nearly $120.
But the complete bundle is available for just $69.99 — a 40%+ discount that makes it one of the most affordable and valuable study investments you can make.
That’s less than the price of one casebook supplement, and you’ll use these outlines all year (and again for bar prep).
