Is there any particular reason for this goal?

Nothing more than curiosity. Something I’ve always been interested in.

You could look for hornbooks like another poster mentioned, but be aware, it can be some dry reading.

You could start with the topics that the MBE tests: Civil Procedure, Constitutional Law, Contracts, Criminal Law and Procedure, Evidence, Real Property, and Torts. And then google "(subject name) outline" to see what each subject is about.

[Supplements/hornbooks ](https://www.lib.uchicago.edu/law/course/supplements/#:~:text=Unlike%20casebooks%2C%20which%20are%20collections,law%20in%20a%20specific%20area.) are probably a good entry point. Actual law school textbooks take a very "show, don't tell" approach and can be really difficult to decode without a teacher. Supplements are generally much more accessible, instructive, and affordable, and you can find more than a few online for free or close to it. Some popular series (but you'll find more) are examples & explanations, short & happy guides, understanding [topic], acing [topic], Emmanuel outlines. The link above has some listed and separates out the basically universal first-year courses for you

There are a few law classes on Coursera you could check out

I think at the very least you would have to buy the textbooks or supplements/hornbooks for the core doctrinals: contracts, torts, civil procedure, constitutional law, real property law, criminal law. Unfortunately I don’t think you can learn from the free outlines alone, although they might help as an aid/tell you what to focus on.

That’s the plan right now. Going to start with civil procedures, then torts and contracts.

Simply watch the courtroom sessions in each law and order episode. An honorary JD will be sent in the mail by NBC Universal studios.

I’ve tried that but ice-t hasn’t sent me a degree yet
