1.Legislation and Statutory Interpretation, 2nd ed. (Concepts and Insights) by: Philip P. Frickey, Elizabeth Garrett William N.Eskridge January 30, 2006

The textbook that this book supplements is very confusing. This supplement condenses the material and re-organizes the concepts in a more linear fashion. Recommended to any student who uses Eskridge's textbook in class.

2.Cases and Materials on Legislation Statutes and the Creation of Public Policy (American Casebook Series) by: William, Jr. Eskridge, Philip P. Frickey 1987-10
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.50
Unfortunately, I did not have the option of choosing to take this class from the co-author Professor Frickey, however, this book more than made up for that. This is an excellent book on a topic which unfortunately receives little attention at most law schools. This book provides lawyers or law students with the analytic skills necessary to be successful at practice and at class. In addition if you do not develop those skills you can always use the plethora of statutory cannons contained in this book.

This book is universally reviled by nearly all the 1Ls at my school (where Legislation is taught to first years). It's extremely long, boring, HUGE, and very difficult to get through, especially when you have to read large chunks at a time for class each week. There's comparatively few cases. The authors say in twenty words what they could easily express in two, and unless you REALLY need to know that senator Clair Engle was suffering a brain tumor when he voted for cloture during the passage of the Civil Rights Act, the authors go into way more detail than you will ever need as a 1L. The only good thing about this book is that it solved my insomnia problem - it puts me to sleep every time.

5.Law and Public Choice: A Critical Introduction by: Philip P. Frickey, Daniel A. Farber January 15, 1991
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $17.00 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $6.81
Law and Public Choice aims to be an introduction to economic models of rational behavior to explain the workings of political institutions in modern democracies. The book summarizes the strand of research in public and collective choice (or positive political theory, as American political scientists would rather say), that is, the fact that democracies require people to organize themselves to decide by voting how to allocate resources to public goods. Of course, the task is much more complicate than individuals have to face when to decide whether to buy cornflakes or Nasdaq stocks. Thus understood, the book leaves out the law and economics, and the comparative law and economics traditions. The book was released in 1991 and is now a little outdated and focuses too much on the American system. ... Read More

6.Constitutional Law: Themes for the Constitution's Third Century (American Casebook Series) by: Daniel A. Farber, William N., Jr. Eskridge, Philip P. Frickey 2003-06

Prior to purchasing this casebook I looked over the website reviews and read one which recommended just copying the cases for class over buying the book. The reviewer felt the commentary was minimal and not worthwhile. I disagree. There is a substantial amount of editorial commentary, albeit not easy reading and sometimes presumptive of knowledge, and the cases are edited. Not buying the casebook is a risky approach if this is your assigned text. A good adjuvant for better understanding the material is the Chemerinsky treatise (Aspen).
