THE COMPANION COLLECTION
Start with the subject in front of you.
One subject. One companion.
Read a sample before you begin.
U.S. law, with the framework made clear. These are foundational course companions. Follow your professor’s assigned authorities and jurisdiction; first-year curricula differ. Federal procedure, state-law variation, and classroom assumptions are identified in the books.
Opening the library…
No books match that search.
Try “Contracts,” “jurisdiction,” or “legal method,” or return to all companions.
A QUICK REFERENCE, BEFORE YOU BEGIN
A term. A distinction.
A clearer starting point.
Selected definitions from each companion.
The books include the full reference sections.
TRY A QUESTION
Find the issue.
Explain your choice.
Choose a companion and try a short original problem. The explanation connects the stated rule to the decisive facts and addresses the alternatives.

FROM READING TO APPLICATION
Build an argument you can explain.
Use the material facts.
Work the hypothetical before reading the analysis. Explain why the material facts support each side, then test the reasoning against the changed-fact variation.
Revise the analysis.
Compare your response with the model and self-assessment rubric. Add the missing legal step or factual connection; an answer’s reasoning matters more than its length.

A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS
Before you open a book.
Which subjects are included?
Separate companions cover Contracts, Torts, Federal Civil Procedure, Property, Criminal Law, and Constitutional Law. Legal Method is a shared starter. These are foundational companions, not a claim to cover every law school’s complete first-year curriculum.
Which legal system do the guides use?
The collection is based on U.S. law. Each book identifies its framework and sources. State variations, model rules, and fictional classroom assumptions are distinguished; your course’s assigned rules remain essential.
Is this LSAT or bar-exam preparation?
This center supports law-school coursework and basic first-year analysis. It is not an LSAT course, bar-review program, or advice about a real legal matter.
How do the study tools relate to the companions?
Each of the six subjects has a separate working outline, a 48-card deck, and three one-page explainers. They supplement the longer companions, which include teaching units, worked hypotheticals, practice questions, and essay problems. Legal Method remains a shared starter.
Have these editions been reviewed?
The current books are review editions. Final editorial review is pending. Professional-review credits will be added only after the relevant review is complete.
Can I read the books before ordering?
Full outlines, flashcards, and one-sheets are reserved for purchased access. Try three sample cards per subject and read the free six-page companion samples. The Legal Method starter remains free in full. Sales and print fulfillment are not open yet.
