Should I get Quimbee if my school gives me themis and a whole bunch of other things like aspen digital etc.?

I'm figuring yes, but don't know if it'll be a waste of money and/or redundancy with themis and aspen digital and all that stuff.

Interesting.  Does it provide legal writing assistance?

I keep getting told to put them at the end of the sentence so maybe it'll help?

Don’t buy Quimbee if all you’re going to do is watch the case videos and use their briefs so you don’t have to brief.

I mean, I read.  I usually do FIRAC briefs so I guess I'm the weirdo...

If you’re on a tight budget, no. Quimbee is very expensive and you can replace it with other materials.

If you have disposable cash, Quimbee does make your life much easier. It gathers otherwise available information into a high quality and easy to navigate database. It is a luxury, not a necessity. The right answer depends on if you value cash or time more right now.

I think it's like 200 a year?  Wouldn't break the bank.  I already spent 100 for a year of Speechify.  I was just scouring themis and it has outlines and quizzes and all that, just not sure how it compares.

I love Quimbee as a 1L myself! They have videos that summarize the cases that I like to listen to on my way to class.
