1.0 out of 5 stars
Worst law school casebook to date,
This review is from: Constitutional Law: Cases - Comments - Questions (American Casebook) (Hardcover)
I truly hate this book, it is awful. I don't think that sentence expressed my anger at this horrible book. The topics make little sense, there are no definitions. It is not clear always when a large case begins or ends. The notes are jammed together, have no discernible topic, and are way too long.
Please professors, do not assign this book!

Deliberately picked by Professor because alternative was too easy,

This review is from: Constitutional Law: Cases - Comments - Questions (American Casebook) (Hardcover)
This book is the most confusing text book I have ever attempted to read. Footnotes are separated into two categories, letters and numbers. After almost an entire semester of Con Law in law school, I still don't know why some are letters and some are numbers. Cases are broken into multiple parts and placed sporadically throughout chapters. Every law school text book I've had so far, I can pull information out of, but for some reason, not this one. If your professor is using this book and you have the option of taking it with another, do it.

By far the worst textbook I've ever had to use.,

This review is from: Constitutional Law: Cases - Comments - Questions (American Casebook) (Hardcover)
If you are a professor trying to decide which casebook to use for your constitutional law class, then for the sake of your students, please keep looking. This book is almost worthless. Important cases are treated with one or two sentences and hidden in the notes, the format seems designed to make the book as frustrating to read as possible, the editing of many of the cases seems to leave out important information, and, worst of all, there is little to no explanation of anything. It's like the book's authors just copy/pasted all the landmark cases they could think of from West or Lexis, cut a little out for length (not much, though - this book is over 1600 pages long!) and then jammed it all into this soul-crushing book. If you're a student and you have a choice of professors for your con law class (and if you do, I envy you), pick the one that doesn't use this book. Constitutional law is annoying enough without having to fight a bad casebook. I'd give this zero stars if I could.
