Summary: Law Students Take A Look!
Review: Tribe's treatise (Volume I) on U.S. Constitutional Law is worth a look.

During my semester studying U.S. Constitutional Law, I looked at some hornbooks and then, after some disappointment, specially ordered Tribe's book.

I found the Treatise to be enlightening in many areas of Constitutional Law, inlcluding the levels of U.S. Supreme Court review, and others. In my opinion Professor Tribe brings a refreshing, different perspective to the issues that appeal to many students, although perhaps not to all.

The price may be prohibitive for some, but for the Law Student employed full time, along with many other responsibilities, this may be the break you have been looking for. This is especially true when you are dealing with professors who love to "hide the ball!"

Considering the high cost of your legal education, I feel this book is well worth the money and would be a welcome addition to any law library. As an aside, after my Con-Law course was completed and my required paper was submitted (rife with Tribe footnotes of course), miraculously, the Law School bookstore began carrying this book at the professor's request!

This book comes highly recommended!
