is a good question (and one I will leave to the commercial bar review courses). But the reality is that you want to have ONE master outline. If you are in a commercial bar review course, I recommend that the master outline be one that you have created from your lecture notes. Why the lecture notes? Well, most of us learn something when we listen to a lecture (especially if you are an auditory learner) and, unless you didn't understand the lecture, I think it is a good idea to build on what you learned there and continue to organize the material in a similar way. Now, should this outline be 30 to 40 pages for a given subject? I would argue, no .
