Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A ReviewBook was fine, a little worse than they described but I don't mind the highlighting and writing inside so its fine. Rating:  - Awful, Horrible, BadContent The editing sucks. The notes suck. The case selection sucks. Construction This book shares the same physical problems that all Aspen casebooks suffer. The binding sucks.

The paper is too thin, print shows through not only from the other side of the page, but from other pages below. The paper is an icky off white. The font is funky with awkward leading and hard ...

Horrible editing. This ... Read More Rating: - So much cheaper than the 2005 editionIf you are buying this, I assume you are buying because you have to for class.

Is it false economy to scrimp on the books when you are paying through the teeth for law school already? Here I attempt to answer these questions. I used this edition of the book rather than the 2005 edition for both ... Read More Rating: - Reasonable - Good Historical MaterialsI've had cause to study this book a little for a course in Constitutional Problems at the University of Western Australia. Inevitably - while my requirements cannot be as detailed or exhaustive as that of my American friends, I found it a useful guide to the major cases and enjoyed the historical references. I particularly enjoyed the Race and the Constitution (equality and 14th amendment stuff) chapter and the dicussion of the case law preceding Brown v. Board of Education. |
