I'm sitting here in my second year ConLaw class and not learning a damn thing. The book is over 1700 pages long and it requires you to dig through tons of note cases to find substantive law. Furthermore, the authors included tons of law review articles that have no direct control on the topic and do not illuminate on the issues. I try to get what I could from this class, but I'm sure I'm at a huge disadvantage as compared to my other classmates who are studying under a respected Constitutional law scholar. My professor is very mechanistic and simplistic in her approach. She managed to bore the whole class to tears on some of the most exciting Constitutional topics. Nobody made a peep through Roe v. Wade, or Plessy v. Ferguson because noone has any respect for her teaching ability. There's floating rumor, not without cause, that she'll be axed soon. But for my ****** registration time last semester, I would've been in a different ConLaw class. ConLaw was one of the reasons I chose the law school route, and now I'm hating this class because of this stupid ******* $#(*&#@($&.
In any case, thanks for reading my rant. I need to get a good and practical ConLaw book. I want the meat and potatoes of ConLaw. Something that you continually go back to for references. Any recommendations from you lawyers out there?
