First, a word of caution about using commercial outlines:

"[T]he processes of synthesizing cases and creating an outline helps the student store her understanding of the rule of law in long-term memory more effectively than reading a commercial outline. Although commercial outlines or other study aids can provide feedback as to whether students have accurately synthesized a rule, if students use them in lieu of synthesizing cases, their learning is likely to be more superficial and last for a shorter period of time."
