Do Outline Banks Provide An Unfair Advantage?

Should good outlines be available to all?

Dear friends,

Below is a link to an open dropbox folder containing the NYU Law Review’s outline bank. I highly recommend you download the files immediately (to your computer, not to your dropbox folder), as the folder is unlikely to stay up for more than a few hours, if that.

[Redacted]

The NYU Law Review, along with other student organizations/journals, collects and compiles outlines which are only made available to members and friends of members. Earlier this year, an anonymous source released the Law Review’s outline bank, but only a handful of people had the opportunity to download it before Law Review took “legal action” to have the files removed. This created what I believe to be an unfair advantage, and it seemed necessary to distribute the files more openly and broadly. Some will protest that the real world is so very often all about who you know, and that this is no different. Well, fortunately for all of you, you know me.

Apologies to the 1Ls, but the outlines contained in the box are almost exclusively for upper level courses, with some exceptions for second semester electives. Of course, determining whether or not the use of any given outline is in violation of the student handbook and/or a professor’s personal class policies is totally your responsibility.

Don’t submit this to ATL. It is boring and petty and nobody cares. Plus it’ll just make us sound like Columbia.

Sincerely,
