Book Review: Your Morning Constitution
Summary: 4 Stars
The CrunchTime study guides are indispensible tools for the thinking student who hopes to transform the often interminable case reprints of a standard law school textbook into knowledge that can actually be useful in studying for an exam. This particular guide is a bit thicker than many of the other CrunchTime titles, because Constitutional Law is the most massive subject around. This one surely delivers on the established strengths of the CrunchTime series, though it may introduce some new sources of confusion for the student going through a panicky study session.
The procedural flowcharts, in general, are a brilliant device for illustrating how the legal decision process works. But here a few of them are too confusing and convoluted, particularly the monstrous six page-long chart introducing Con Law at large, which fails to deliver the simplicity and insight that is supposed to be the point of CrunchTime flowcharts. There are some terminology issues as well, including the use of "mere rationality" for the concept that I've seen called "rational basis" in most other legal education sources. There are also many typos in this book and frequent use of unprofessional terms like "flunk," thus damaging the educational quality of the book. This all makes this CrunchTime installment slightly weaker than its brothers, but the series is still my personal favorite for making sense out of obtuse and condescending casebooks.
