The Glannon Guide to Constitutional Law integrates
multiple-choice questions into a full-fledged review of a Constitutional
Law or Governmental Structure and Powers course. Lead-up discussions
prepare students to effectively learn from subsequent questions. Clear
explanations of correct and incorrect answers help to clarify nuances in
the law. The carefully crafted multiple-choice questions are
sophisticated but fair, and are equally useful to all students,
regardless of whether they will be tested by multiple-choice questions
or not. A challenging final question in each chapter (the “Closer”)
illustrates a sophisticated problem in the topic covered, and “Closing
Closer” questions in the last chapter provide practice and cumulative
review. Here is a far more user-friendly and interactive approach than
other exam preparation aids, with valuable exam-taking pointers
interspersed throughout the text.
The text of the Second Edition has been updated to cover
important new Supreme Court cases. New visual aids such as charts and
flowcharts help to summarize difficult areas of doctrine. More questions
have been added, especially where new cases are discussed, and new
"Closing Closers" continue to provide practice and review.
