5.0 out of 5 stars
Great efficient, time saver,
By J. Ocampo (New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Emanuel Law Outlines: Constitutional Law (Paperback)
This book offers law students with a time saving alternative to piecing together the 120+ cases in your textbook to form a picture of Constitutional Law.
Unlike your law professor, the author of this book does not play hide the ball. The relevant Constitutional Law issues and conclusions are clearly identified with no tricks, answerless hypotheticals, or the shameful deceptions that you are likely to find in a Constitutional Law textbook. The book is well organized and written in a way that you can easily come up with the "black letter law" and modes of argument so that you can be successful in your class. This book's coverage is very broad; it can be used for both Constitutional Law and Constitutional Rights classes. It has a "Capsule Summary" that briefly explains the major points that the book will cover. I read over the Capsule Summary and found it very helpful in creating a framework that helped me understand everything in detail throughout the rest of the book. Emanuel has already peiced the cases together for you. You can figure out what the common state of Constitutional Law very quickly. This is very helpful if your professor is going to give you an issue-spotter/essay test. I am very pleased with the experience that I had with this book (2005 edition). I rarely went to my Constitutional Law class and never did any of the readings. I studied this book in the days leading up to the final exam and scored in the top 10% of the class! If I could do this, then it is not too far fetched to believe that a diligent/more intelligent student would have even more impressive results.

Great companion book,
By Tpeak "Tpeak" (Canada) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Emanuel Law Outlines: Constitutional Law (Paperback)
This book is a great companion book for any of the texts (or any courses you may take) on Con Law. In fact, at this late date in the semester, I am using it exclusive of the required text and it is getting me to all the necessary points. Highly recommended.

The best commercial outline I have come across in law school,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Emanuel Law Outlines: Constitutional Law (Paperback)
This book is worth its weight in gold. I have used it in two classes (and I should be using it to prepare for my Con Law II exam now, rather than writing this review). It includes thorough case summaries, many of which include concurrences and dissents. Ties the cases together in a way that highlights each case's significance. The case summaries are the most useful during classes, but when it comes time for exams, it includes topical outlines, "capsule summaries," exam tips, study questions, literally everything you could possibly want in a study aid. I could kiss Stephen L. Emanuel. I should probably include that I got the highest grade in my Constitutional Law I class. Obviously you still need to read and pay attention in class, but this book really helps to clarify constitutional law, which can often be a very muddy subject.
