A Must Buy for Constitutional Law Students,
By A Customer
This review is from: Constitutional Law, Individual Rights: Examples and Explanations (The examples & explanations series) (Paperback)
This book is the best study guide for Constitutional Law that I have read. It is written in narrative form, as opposed to outline form. The explanations of cases are clear and concise and reflect the nuances of the lenthy cases in this area where single-paragraph statements in outlines cannot. More importantly, the authors are well regarded constitutional law professors whose evaluations of the cases can be trusted to be accurate as well as even-handed.

Disappointed,
By A Customer
This review is from: Constitutional Law: Individual Rights : Examples and Explanations (The Examples & Explanations Series) (Paperback)
Normally, I recommend Examples & Explanation series over any of the other commerical outlines out there. I was very disappointed with both Constitutional Law books however. The examples are unhelpful, especially when a lot of the answers depend on material you won't learn for several chapters! Some of the text is useful but much of it is the authors biased view of what cases mean or should mean. This isn't helpful if you are not taking the class from them! Overall, I was extremely disappointed in these two books. Not worth the money.

Pathetic,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Constitutional Law, Individual Rights (Examples & Explanations) (Paperback)
I have used E&E throughout my law studies and have found them incredibly helpful. However, this book and its companion E&E National Power and Federalism, are not nearly as helpful as many other subjects you'll find in the E&E series. For example, almost every example and explanation is based on the most well known/read cases. At first glance, this sounds great. However, if you've read your textbook, this does very little to stretch your understanding of the law. In fact, it is just a recitation of the things you already know.With that said, I am clearly not a constitutional law scholar and have found this subject to be more difficult than others. However, these books were of limited help. Don't waste your money.
