Customer Reviews

Wrong Book Twice

I ordered this book and they sent me First Year Questions instead. I contacted the seller and they sent the wrong book a second time... Very frustrating.

Excellent book

This was a wonderful companion book to my casebook. It was very clear and helped me clear up many fuzzy concepts. I would recommend it to anyone needing a little extra help with the topic.

Excellent service and communication.

Great services. I accidentally selected the wrong shipping address and emailed seller, who immediately contacted the post office and resent my package to the correct address. Thank you!

Great companion book

This book is a great companion book for any of the texts (or any courses you may take) on Con Law. In fact, at this late date in the semester, I am using it exclusive of the required text and it is getting me to all the necessary points. Highly recommended.

I was lost, and then with Emanuel, I was found...

This book saved my grade in Constitutional Law. A week before the final I was so confused and lost in the material and I was freaking out! I bought this book as a last hope at saving my grade, and not only did it save my grade, I got one of the best grades in the class!! This is the BEST supplement I have seen yet that explains and ties everything together. I would recommend it a thousand times over to all law students who need a little (or a lot) of help with Constitutional Law.

Concise, thorough, accurate

I bought the Emanuel for property and liked it so much I got this one and the one for substantive criminal law. While I didn't use the crim law one so much (terrific prof), this was absolutely indispensable. We had so much reading in that class that there was no way I could have (a) understood it all on my own or (b) had time to read Tribe or any other hornbook, helpful as they may be.As with all the Emanuels, this one is organized very well, packing a lot of info in and still making it readable. I recommend periodically surveying the summarized outline at the beginning; then look up your assigned cases in the index and read enough to give you a feel for the issues before you read the cases. Unless your prof is going for breadth and not depth, you won't get through half of this bad boy, but what you do cover will be in here.Best of all, this supp is very accurate. I regularly brought it to class to refer to, and I thought I had stolen my prof's lecture notes. It clarifies ambiguous doctrines, while appropriately throwing up its hands when commenting on the Court's stance would be guesswork.I hear all sorts of great things about Tribe, but this was the bomb for me, a lot cheaper and more versatile.
