This book got me an A., 2010-01-30
I struggled all semester long with Tax I. I purchased Examples and Explanations because I'd had good experiences with other topics before. As soon as I started reading the E&E along with my class assignments (or in place of them), it all came together. It offers some concrete explanations and then provides questions with great factual variations. My exam was multiple choice, so the E&E material was perfect preparation. Seriously, how could ~$35 not be a great investment when it returns an A? Buy this book.

You won't be TAXED if you use this, 2008-12-13
I thought Taxes would be daunting (it still is) but this E&E was superb. I literally did not buy the textbook (saved 140 bucks) read E&E before classes and was ready while some of my peers were dazed! When I had the misfortune of not preparing for class, I found the examples and explanations perfectly clear and was not far behind the pack. Mind you Taxes is not your typically law school course and requires a substantial amount of simple and mechanical number crunching. This E&E has many such examples. While I'm at it, I have to recommend EXAM PRO Federal Income Tax for Multiple Choice Exams ISBN 978-0-314-18069-8 (absolutely perfect examples and explanations again - 5 Stars).
For the record, I think that the E&E series is lacking overall, except for CivPro, Taxes, and maybe Torts (Glannon is my Professor). I found E&E Contracts and Property sub-par (2 stars).

A Practitioner's Perspective, 2008-10-14
I bought an earlier edition while I was in law school. This book is very well organized and covers both the conceptual and practical perspectives of taxation extraordinarily well. The questions at the end of each section help to solidify your understanding of the concepts by varying the fact scenarios from question to question.
I've been in tax practice for ten years, and I purchase each updated edition for a review of the conceptual aspects of taxation and for a quick review of the tax treatment of transactions I haven't handled very often in practice.
