[Anthony Zupancic · Rating 5 out of 5]

It's a good collection of cases, organized thematically, for an undergrad constitutional law class.

Pretty good for an undergraduate Con Law book.

[Mike · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a textbook, but I thought that it was a very good one if you have any interest in the topic. The book mixes case law review and interpretation in a very symbiotic way.

A very good, thorough text on the basics of Con Law - the institutional foundations.
