Book Reviews of Constitutional Law (Casebook)

Book Review: Poorly organized and rambling citations
Summary: 2 Stars

As a 1L, I have had a few casebooks--this is by far the worst one. The note cases do not differentiate important cases from minor ones. The book does not include in full cases such as Eisenstadt and heavily edits many important cases. Boerne v. Flores is a bloody mess to read and will confuse those who read the case some where else. Admittedly these are con law opinions that require heavy editing, but this book's critical flaw for the student is its inability to elucidate to the reader what they are about to read and how the case fits into the big picture. Many casebooks give an entree into what you will read and how it is apart of the big picture. This definitely not the case for this book. I was relying on my professor to point out the important opinions from the duds. This book also is terrible in explaining the commerce clause. Many students will likely thing Dagenhart or Carter Coal is still good law because of this book. I implore the professors looking for a book to skip on this one. The authors are great but the book is horribly organized and unfriendly to a student.
