Are pre-prepared case briefs useful?
As is the case with commercial outlines, pre-prepared case briefs can be helpful if, after reading a case, you do not understand it. Some canned briefs, however, unfortunately incorrectly interpret the case. Also, in many instances, the pre-prepared briefs include information not contained in the edited versions of the cases found in your book. Therefore, you may bring out a point covered in the brief that is not covered in the version of the case contained in your book, and your professor will know that you did not do the reading but instead are relying on canned briefs.
