That looks about right - I had Contracts, Torts, Civ Pro and Legal research/writing. I went part time, so Property had to wait until 2nd year.
I loved torts - the cases sell themselves! Civ Pro was kind of dull, but it's super important. I didn't figure that out till I started working for a lawyer. Property was just plain hard.
All your profs are going to tell you not to use the commercial outlines like Emmanuel and Gilberts - that's total reverse psychology. Go ahead and use them.
I fucking hate the Socratic method, mainly because I can't figure out how many times I took copious notes on something some guy was saying in class, only to find out he was dead wrong. (That's where the commercial outlines really come in handy)
