 A wonderful supplement! August 6, 2003
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
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 the High Court Case Summaries book. Con Law 1 ended up being my highest grade of the year. I wish I had used these books for all my first year classes!
Great Supplement, So much better than legalines July 6, 2005

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.
Buy This May 10, 2005
Christopher Davis (Columbus OH United States)
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.
It's all you need October 26, 2008

I stated off with Casenote Legal Briefs, which I found to be worthless, then I bought Legalines, which were better and then I bought this and it's perfect. I only use this book to prepare for class and it's always enough. It's a great time saver. I will only use the High Court series from now on. Can't recommend them enough.
 Not the most recent version March 12, 2006

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.
