Constitutional Law (Hornbook Series and Other Textbooks)

Rating:
Summary: Nowak, no way
Review: A good overview of the subject, but for a more comprehensive text with relevant arguments that would help a one L in class, get Tribe's American Constitutional history.

Rating:
Summary: As meandering as the Mississipi, Riddled with Typos.
Review: If you are aiming for a B, or a B+ in your Con Law Class, I recommend that you stick to your class notes, and supplement your classnotes with a Nutshell.

This hornbook is a meandering exposition of Con Law. You would be better off sticking with a close analysis of actual cases and your class notes.

Finally: as noted by reviewer below, this hornbook is marred by ridiculously large number of typographical errors. Did anyone proof read the galleys? Shame on West Group. Copy editing errors include: typos (treaties v. treaties), missing words (too many to mention), line-spacing problems. Go to the back of the book and look for page numbers for "injunction"--check out how injunction is spelled.

Summary: Simple Overview of Constitutional Law
Review: This Hornbook provides a wonderful overview of constitutional law. It strikes the balance between an indepth study and a superficial review. It imparts a sense of the history of constitutional law, while still providing an indepth analysis of the most important cases. It is well written and easy to follow.

I used this study aid to much success in my constitutional law class.
