Publisher's summary

This audiobook provides legal briefs for the top 100 cases that have formed the foundation of constitutional law in the United States. Each case brief will cover the facts, procedural history, issue, holding, rule, reasoning, disposition, dissents, or concurrences.

Constitutional law can be one of the most difficult areas to study in the law. This audiobook will go over some of the most important cases that have shaped constitutional law over the decades.

The most important part of each case will be the holding and rationale, so you can use these cases to apply to future fact patterns you encounter both in studying for a bar exam or practicing the law. Also included is our constitutional law course outline. This outline is detailed and comprehensive, covering everything you might expect to learn in a typical law school constitutional law course.

Nice and short summaries

The narrator's diction is clear. The summaries of the cases are nice and concise. But there are places where a particular political perspective comes through. Needs to be neutral on each and every case.

Very good, but buyer beware ...

This choppy-quick presentation format is a very efficient way to review a lot of Supreme Court law. The descriptions are a model of brevity and clarity. But I say review, thinking this would not be the best starting point to learn Constitutional law. The problem there is, despite the excellent plain-spoken style of this work, it jumps right in to fact situations and doctrines the newbie might not recognize yet. Also, the law topics are not systematically introduced, but rather are lumped into a sort of greatest hits approach, and delivered one-two-three, mostly chronologically in each subject area. The new learner might struggle to fill the gaps between the ideas and terms and stories. One great help would have been to systematically say the year of each decision up front, because much better historical context would instantly be added. Instead, at times no date is stated, or the listener must (awkwardly, sometimes) await the simple date statement or enough story to figure out when this case was decided. That makes it more laborious than it needed to be. With all that said, this is one of my favorite AudioLearn legal books to date. Make a bankruptcy one, PLEASE !

Just Did Not Make the Grade

Top 100 Cases in Constitutional Law: Legal Briefs, AudioLearn Legal Content Team, and narrated by Terry Rose. I am an attorney at law and have litigated much in life. Yet, the amount of Constitutional law cases has been minimal and since I enjoy learning law I thought this course would be perfect. After reading the work, I am still not sure whether the work was a failure, or I just happened to read it in a funk. I am usually a good audio learner, meaning I learn better from the spoken lecture than I sometimes do from the written page. Yet, in this work, the words kept coming but the concepts just seemed to drift away into nothingness.

The structure of the work was ingenious. The first half of the book or course listed out important cases per organized subject areas. The second half discussed the law in the relegated subject areas, legislative, executive and judiciary powers, civil rights, interstate commerce, etc. were discussed in a more cumulative manner. Good learning structure but somehow noting clicked in my mind to make me believe I learned something that I could use again. Thus, the mediocre ratings. I really wanted this opportunity to be good, but it wasn’t.

Perhaps I need to reread or as it were, relisten.

Text book style review.

This is a sentence by sentence review which I believe is helpful for anyone really wanting to learn about the Constution. Narrator does his best but I found the reading of Roman numerals off putting (just me). Eye, then eye,eye...then eye,eye,eye. Then eye vee, then vee, etc. Weird?

Course outline not included

Even though the cover says a course outline is included, it is not. The book needs a course outline because it moves quickly from case to case without setting the context or even giving the dates of cases. Thus it is impossible to get an overview of how the cases work together, or even to find a summary of a particular case.
