Run for the hills,
By Disgruntled 1L (Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cases on Constitutional Law (American Casebooks) (Hardcover)
This is definitely the worst casebook I have come across so far. It weighs a ton too. You absolutely need to buy a supplement if you want to understand anything. A huge amount of space is devoted to notes and comments most of which are meaningless and incomprehensible to most 1Ls. As someone already said, if you can avoid this book, you're lucky.

Not for the casual reader...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Constitutional Law: Cases, Comments and Questions, Ninth Edition (American Casebooks) (Hardcover)
We used this book for two semesters of Constitutional Law at law school. Even so we covered less than half of it. It is not easy reading but when used with other study aids or Lexis the cases become more clear.If you are looking at this for law school purposes you probably don't have a choice. For those of you who are non students just looking for a book on constitutional law I would not recommend it. It is just too dense. Guess that is why it is used in a teaching environment.

Horrible Casebook,

This review is from: Constitutional Law: Cases, Comments and Questions, Ninth Edition (American Casebooks) (Hardcover)
I too have used this book for two semesters of Con Law. In my opinion it is the absolute worst casebook I have ever had to use.
The comments after the cases do nothing to clarify anything and frankly as a 1L you will be too busy reading for all your other classes you won't have time to read the 50 pages of comments after every case anyway. If you have to use this casebook, you'd better hope that you get a good professor or at least get Gilberts/Emanuel!
