Editorial Review:
Chemerinsky's High Court Case Summaries on Constitutional Law, 2d contain well-prepared briefs for each major case in Chemerinsky's casebook on Constitutional Law. High Court briefs are written to present the essential facts, issue, decision and rationale for each case in a clear, concise manner. While prepared briefs can never substitute for the insight gained by actually reading a case, these briefs will help readers to identify, understand, and absorb the core, take away, knowledge from each case. Moreover, these briefs are followed by a useful legal analysis, which provides extra tips and contextual background about each case, connecting the case to the broader concepts being developed throughout the casebook. This book also supplies case vocabulary, which defines new or unusual legal words found throughout the cases. Finally, to enhance the reader's recall, there is a corresponding memory graphic for each brief that portrays an entertaining visual representation of the relevant facts or law of the case.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - con law case summaries
the case book is pretty bad so this is a big help, but your might need additional supplements to get through con law.
Rating: - Not the most recent version
Its a fine book but what I found out after I recieved it is that its keyed to the First Edition not the most recent edition. So its missing a few cases.
Rating:  - Great Supplement, So much better than legalines
The High Court Case Summaries are great commercial brief books, but have much better features than legalines. They provide a more concise brief and usually keep them to one page instead of the legalines who bunch all of their material together. The also have the quick facts and memory image as well as a black letter law and definitions section. I wish they had a high courts case summary book for all my classes.
Rating: - Buy This
Some of the con law cases are just long long long and boring and really contain unnecessary language for the student to read. This supplement gives you what you need from the case and provides analysis to explain it for you, which is quite helpful. Some cases from the text should be read at length but most can be read in a few minutes from the supplement.
Rating: - A wonderful supplement!
After a while, all the cases in Con Law 1 start to blend together -- especially in Chemerinsky's book, where it seems he edits almost nothing out of the cases. About half way through the semester, I gave up on reading the cases because there simply wasn't time. After finishing reading 15 pages of a case, I'd still have no clue what I was supposed to get out of it. So I changed my strategy at the suggestion of some classmates --- I read Chemerinsky's commentary and the summaries of the cases from ... Read More
