American Constitutional Law, Volume I
This treatise on constitutional law is organized around issues, or constitutional functions, rather than being a sequential discussion of the text to the Constitution. Professor Tribe provides analysis of constitutional law doctrine and policy. The text is heavily footnoted with references to treatises, law review articles, the U.S. Code, and Supreme Court cases. It concentrates on the Constitution's provisions for government structure and on how constitutional structure helps guarantee protection of substantive rights and liberties.

Good lord, my brain hurts when I thumb through this book. Tribe is brilliant, but I'll bet his reading tastes aren't as eclectic as mine. I'll hold on to that, and be superior to him always in that knowledge.

Tribe is an eminent constitutional law expert. This is his casebook. While it illustrates his perspective, I found it somewhat idiosyncratic. I also found it hard to follow some of the arguments. So, if you are interested in Tribe, here is a good starting point. Interested in constitutional law? There might be other outlets that one might prefer.

THE most important book on Con Law, written by an eminent and brilliant Constitutional scholar. I am not a lawyer nor a law student, but was fascinated by this comprehensive review of Con Law.
