[Heather West · Rating 5 out of 5]

It takes some serious doing for a textbook to change your life. This one changed the way that I think about the law, civil liberties, and my life. In a lot of ways, this book set me on the path to law school. It is a law textbook, chronicling some important Supreme Court decisions on Free Speech and other Constitutional rights.

This book showed me the fluidity of law, and the dynamic nature of rights. It showed me that the law is something that I can work to change, and that rights are fragile and in need of protection. Next step? Law school.
