As a student at Harvard Law School in the 1970s, Steve Emanuel wrote concise outlines for his courses and sold them in the law school dining hall to his fellow students. His outlines were such an immediate hit that soon after graduation, Steve quit the practice of law and started his own company to publish the Emanuel Law Outlines® series and other study-aid series he helped write.

For more than 40 years, Steve's full-time job has been to update the Emanuel Law Outlines®—and other study aids he's written or published, like the Law in a Flash series—to reflect changes in the law, in casebooks, and on topics tested in bar exams. Over 2 million copies of study aids written by Steve have been sold. Steve is a retired member of the New York, Connecticut, Maryland, and Virginia bars, and has passed the California bar exam.
