Book Reviews of First Amendment Law (University Casebook Series)

Book Review: Convenient, slimmer volume is ... still awful
Summary: 1 Stars

I used Sullivan & Gunther, Constitutional Law 15th Edition. It has been my least favorite casebook, although I like Con Law. The note cases are too long and too numerous, but the note sections are incoherently presented so that the whole book seems like mush. All the primary and note cases have little formatting, so it is hard to getting any sense about how the opinions are organized. I have looked up some cases on Westlaw, and they are much better formatted (e.g., more paragraphs) in the original!

According to the First Amendment Law preface this book "provides in standalone form all the chapters on free speech, free press and the religion clauses from Sullivan & Gunther, Constitutional Law 16th Edition." Argh. I used this book for First Amendment (the 15th to 16th Edition update made me buy this 1A book), and it stinks for the same reasons that the big Constitutional Law casebook stinks.

Students you do not get to choose your casebook, but you can start picking your hornbook. :-) I liked The First Amendment by Daniel A. Farber, Second Edition.

Summary of First Amendment Law (University Casebook Series)

Sullivan and Gunther?s First Amendment Law included important recent developments in areas such as the regulation of sexually indecent speech on the Internet and other new communications media, the constitutional law of political money and campaign finance, the government?s constitutional leeway to regulate liquor and tobacco advertising, the constitutionality of decency restriction on national arts grants, and the use of public funds to subsidize parochial school education. One volume.
