Average Rating: 
Rating: - essential resource
If you plan on taking Federal Courts, get this book. Even if you are a genius or a masochist and would prefer to go hard-core and use only Hart and Wechsler, get this book anyway. Seriously, just get it. :-)
Rating: - Every law student should have a copy.
I'm a very average law student, and my federal courts class was stacked with the top 2nd and 3rd year students in my school. Despite this, I got the highest grade in the class. The reason...this book.
Chemerinsky is able to take a complicated topic that takes 50 pages of a textbook to explain, and summarize it in a single paragraph.
This single most impressive book I have encountered in 3 years of law school. And if you plan to practice in the federal court system, this ... Read More
Rating: - An invaluable resource for Federal Courts
All of the thousands of law school study guides tout themselves as a means of breaking down the often complex material for students.

As usual, Chemerinsky provides a clear and concise summary of this area of law. Practitioners and law students alike will find it to be a valuable reference tool.

I read it as a practitioner, but I'm sure law students will find it to be a helpful, though expensive supplement.
The book does fail in maintaining any semblance of objectivity when it ... Read More
Rating: - Helping you through Fed. Courts
This book was a great help to me getting through Federal Courts in addition to my textbook. As any law student can tell you, Federal Courts or Federal Jurisdiction probably outranks civil procedure as the most dreaded class at law school. I am a firm believer in the importance of the subject and this book was invaluable to me in class and in work. If you have a legal problem that will involve federal litigation, this book is a must have. It makes a subject that I often believe is as clear as reading tea ... Read More
