Reader ReviewsI am finishing my second year of law school, so I have read quite a few case books. This is BY FAR the worst. I have the 5th edition. The cases are poorly edited, leaving out important information. But the notes are even worse. The notes are very poorly organized, with very few headings and sub-headings. Between cases there is a seemingly endless sea of words with very few interesting points to make. Instead of using footnotes for the ridiculous number of citations, the authors decided to use in-line cites. This makes the book EXTREMELY difficult to read. It is common to see an entire paragraph that is entirely comprised of citations (literally!). Even the normal paragraphs are too cluttered with cites to be readable. If you have about forty hours per week to devote to ConLaw, then you might enjoy all the cites (you will need to look them up yourself, because most are not explained). But if you are a law student, you will not have time to wade through this ocean of rambling. This is basically a 1,700 page sleeping pill. Professors: please do not inflict this book on your students. Use Chemerinsky instead.
