Recites the rules, but in a scattered way

I have just finished my 32nd year of teaching this at college level. I passed the CA Bar exam in 1981 (on my first try).
I have used these legal rules in my previous practice of law.
As for the style here: imagine taking a class on cars. The professor walks in, and starts on one part, a door handle. He describes it reasonably well. Then he veers over to an ashtray. He has not said a word about the basic systems and concepts of the car and how they fit together. Next we examine a hubcap. His descriptions are each fine, in and of themselves.
This way of learning is much harder than first hearing main general ideas and the purpose and fit of each, in a strong, well-outlined sequence, before moving in a clearly-traced way to details (then easier to memorize because they fit in an understood scheme of things). This is especially hard where there is no outline or table of contents to look at. So, I think there may be better choices elsewhere as a first look at the subject. Unfortunately, I have found few inexpensive alternatives (hint to budding educational entrepreneurs).

Cringeworthy Reading

I tried using it to study for the business law clep but, I just couldn't keep listening to it. The speaker does a cringeworthy job of trying to keep listener's instead. Try The Great Courses instead.
