Book Reviews of Federal Jurisdiction, Fifth Edition (Aspen Treatise)
Book Review: Blown Away
Summary: 5 Stars
This is quite simply the best study aid I've ever encountered for any class at law school. It takes what can be an extremely dry topic (Fed Courts and/or Fed Jurisdiction) and actually makes it an enjoyable read!
My casebook did a very poor job of making a comprehensive storyline out of the federal jurisdiction issues. It was just a mish mash of "notes" on a bunch of cases with a few opinion excerpts in between. Chemerinsky masterfully creates a fluid overview of the assorted cases. He also does an amazing job of writing narratives of the key cases. His summaries often give you a better understanding of the individual cases than the opinions themselves!
One bit of warning: This is NOT a last minute study tool. If you're looking to cram then look elsewhere (although frankly, the Nutshell for this topic is horrible so I'm not even sure what you'd use). I highly recommend you invest the time in working your way through Chemerinsky. Fed Courts can get confusing but this book is as clear an explanation of any area of law as I've ever found.
