I am a law student and used Mr. Chemerinsky's book during my studies in Constitutional law and for some time now after my classes in this field. This is better than any text book and was recommended by EVERY professor of Constitutional law at my school. It is an awesome book on almost everything you wanted to know about Constitutional law.

It is hard to add to what the previous reviewers have stated. Howecver, simply adding another confirmation to a prior review would not do this book justice. Therefore, I felt compelled to write a seperate review.
Without this book, I would not have passed Con Law.

This is indeed an excellent book in that it puts the different parts of the subject into context. The author does a great job of clearly trying to explain what the reasoning is behind the concepts and how the whole subject is supposed to fit together. Unlike most other books, the author actually is successful in doing this - so by the time a chapter is finished, the reader has a very good grasp of the topic.

Along with Turow's "One L" and, of course, Llewellyn's inimitable "Bramble Bush" this is a good choice for reading (or at least browsing through) during the summer before law school begins. If you don't read it immediately, you'll almost certainly be glad to have it nearby when you study con law. You may even want to keep it after you graduate.
