Customer Rating: Summary: Solid product, but could be better Comment: Prof. Block speaks clearly and understandably. Her speaking pace is not too fast, or too slow. She explains the federal income tax fundamentals well. When I emailed her, Prof. Block told me that the recording was completely revised in 2005. Unfortunately, she did not use as many hypos as some of the other audio speakers in the Law School Legends series and Sum & Substance series.
On a technical note, the first disk repeats for less than a minute, but all the material appears to be present. I did not bother trying to get another copy. Also, like most Law School Legend recordings, this disk set does not have short sections tied to topics. I like Finz's Torts for short audio chunks much better.
This set of CDS includes a 5 hour lecture on Federal Income Tax and a 16 page handout. For the Law School Legends Audio Series, we found the truly gifted law school professors most law students can only dream about - the professors who draw rave reviews not only for their scholarship, but for their ability to make the law easy to understand. We asked these select few professors to condense their courses into a single lecture. And it’s these lectures you’ll find in the Law School Legends Audio Series. With Law School Legends, you’ll get a brilliant law professor explaining an entire subject to you in one simple, dynamic lecture.
