To this day I hate Pennoyer. How about I never really understood Civ Pro until Barbri class in preparing for the bar?
Funny how much I didn't understand or really learn in law school... but then learned it for the bar.

The writing in Pennoyer is unreal; I had to go through it a couple of times at least to figure things out, and even then I was fuzzy until class.
I think it's mainly my professor, because most people I've talked to have disliked Civ Pro. My professor is tough, but she's very good and makes concepts seem a whole lot easier.
I used to work in a bar association with a bunch of lawyers, and one of the things that I heard from each of them was that they learned the most when they were studying for the bar. I guess that's just the way it goes in the profession.
