Book Review: Cases and Other Materials on Legislation

Emerson, Thomas
Abstract
Preparation of a casebook on legislation, or the conduct of a course in that field, demands more than ordinary attention to the question of what the objectives of the course should be. Unless the instructor knows what he is after and keeps a firm grip on the material, a course in legislation is likely to wander almost anywhere and hence arrive nowhere. The course is a newcomer in the law school curriculum and there appears to be no particular agreement upon what it should attempt to do or how it should be taught.
