We use a typical hornbook for our Constitutional Law class - the information format is dry and academic. I bought this Examples and Explanations book to get another perspective. It provided that and so much more. This book included all of the cases that the hornbook covered, but in a much more interesting format. And even though we are required to read dry, legal textbooks, they are required to be uninspiring. We are talking about every Americans' rights - this should be an exciting topic. And this Examples and Explanations book is just that - inspiring and easy to understand!

People seem obsessed with the Chemerinsky supplements, so I bought that one. I hated it, so I sold it and bought this one. Way better!

Don't forget, you'll need both Con Law E&Es- individual rights and national powers.

This book is a great study aid is addition to my case book and class lectures. It provides a clear and concise explanation of the subject and help clarify confusing topics.

I just took con law individual rights this semester and this book helped a lot. A lot of my classmates thought so as well. I have the con law hornbook but that was really big and hard to go through because my prof was very detailed and particular about what he wanted us to know. So the E + E was perfect! It is easy to go through, rules are easy to pick out of the text, and substance of the text really fills you in on what is going on and how these concepts all fit together. I would for sure recommend this book for con IR.

Most of these E and E books are very good. The whole point of these books is to get practice on hypotheticals for exam preparation. Thus, it would make sense if this book offered hypotheticals that were different from the main facts of the key cases. However, it doesn't do that. So, when I was hoping to practice hypotheticals for the exam, this book just gave me summaries. This is probably a good aid if you just really need to cram.

These EE books are always very easy to read and understand. This one broke down the topics in sufficient detail for me to grasp the important concepts and also comprehend the bigger picture. Plus, it provides a very effective and easy to use methodology for attacking certain types of con law problems. The examples are fun and practical. I used this book to supplement my regular studying and I got an A in the class. Not bad!!
