5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Buy for Constitutional Law Students, September 14, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Constitutional Law, Individual Rights: Examples and Explanations (The examples & explanations series) (Paperback)

This book is the best study guide for Constitutional Law that I have read. It is written in narrative form, as opposed to outline form. The explanations of cases are clear and concise and reflect the nuances of the lenthy cases in this area where single-paragraph statements in outlines cannot. More importantly, the authors are well regarded constitutional law professors whose evaluations of the cases can be trusted to be accurate as well as even-handed.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed, December 15, 2002

By A Customer

Normally, I recommend Examples & Explanation series over any of the other commerical outlines out there. I was very disappointed with both Constitutional Law books however. The examples are unhelpful, especially when a lot of the answers depend on material you won't learn for several chapters! Some of the text is useful but much of it is the authors biased view of what cases mean or should mean. This isn't helpful if you are not taking the class from them!

Overall, I was extremely disappointed in these two books. Not worth the money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than most, November 13, 2004

By	John Botti - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Constitutional Law--Individual Rights: Examples and Explanations (The Examples & Explanations Series) (Paperback)

The Redlich hornbook is a lot shorter and easier to read, but unfortunately is last updated in 1999. Until it is current, these are the best.
