Law School Legends Audio on Criminal Law (Law School Legends Audio Series)

The professor knows his material, and the organization is good. But he is a terrible speaker. He speaks too quickly and modulates the volume of his voice so much that some words are over-loud and others are inaudible. In particular, he will often rush the ends of his sentences and swallows the last word so you can't hear it. Maybe this is intelligible under headphones, but not while listening in the car with road noise. Even when he repeated a sentence and I still couldn't understand the last word or two. He blurts, blusters, mumbles, and loudly clears his throat.All this makes for a frustrating listen: I bought this set to review the subject matter, but I found myself struggling to understand what the heck he was saying.Gilbert should transcribe this lecture and re-issue it narrated by an intelligible lecturer.

A little short but C Whitebread teaching and speech and organization of Material was just great. Excellent review, could not stop listening to it. Wish I had the money to go to USC. Thank you, Terry

Interesting, but definitely just supplemental.

Prof. Whitebread is an awesome lecturer. I thought the CD's were a great intro to Crim Law, and a great review at the end of the semester. I also found the outline he provided to be helpful. I got the highest grade in my class. I listened to them about 40 minutes/week all semester. So I went through them a few times. That probably helped.

Good speaker but didn't help me in law school.

Don't listen to people complaining about how short the lecture is. Prof. Whitebread is terse because he is excellent (and quite funny). He covers everything you need to know very effectively, so listen to it twice and you'll get way more out of it than listening to a longer and less well-structured lecture.

This is a recording of a single lecture in which Whitebread reviews all of criminal law in two hours. So, he simply states the black letter law, with little description or analysis. There is nothing on these tapes that you will not know from your classes or your textbook. I did not find it helpful.

Quick and easy review of the basics. Gives you the black letter law, pretty straightforward. I used this and felt that it was a great review. It really cemented the concepts that I had been studying throughout the semester.
