An Excellent Reference for Paralegal Students

The authors of this book have been instrumental in the founding of the ABA certified Paralegal program at DeAnza College and education of paralegal students there. This book serves as an excellent introduction to the concepts of Constitutional Law. It is very well-written and the online companion (with the nifty quizzes) are a superb benefit. This book is well worth the money.
