Arguments and input from lawyers and interest groups, the ebb and flow of public opinion, and especially the ideological and behavioral inclinations of the justices all combine to influence the development of constitutional doctrine. Constitutional Law for a Changing America draws on political science as well as legal studies to analyze and excerpt cases. With meticulous revising and updating throughout, Epstein and Walker streamline material while accounting for recent landmark cases and new scholarship. This seventh edition features two important improvements:
- a completely revamped interior layout and design that clearly delineates between commentary and opinion excerpts while more effectively showcasing photos, justice biographies, and the Aftermath and Global Perspective sidebars.
- the case commentary not only details the case Facts but now includes an Arguments section that details the attorneys arguments for each side, leading to more focused and effective reading of the case.
Cases new to this edition of Rights, Liberties, and Justice include Morse v. Frederick (2007), United States v. Williams (2008), Arizona v. Grant (2009), Safford Unified School District #1 v. Redding (2009), Herring v. United States (2009), Parents Involved in Community Schools v. Seattle School District No. 1 (2007), Meredith v. Jefferson County Board of Education (2007), and Crawford v. Marion County Election Board (2008). | | | Product Details: | | | Author:

Constitutional Law Textbook being put to use frequentlyApr 07, 2001
By L. S. Howe
"fanatic"
I am currently using this textbook for my Constitutional Law class at Winthrop University, and i would like to comment that the book is very well written and easily read. The one problem that i have is that the Opinions of the court are not complete, but only the highlights have been stated, as completely understandable, but I find the extra information also informative when trying to write papers on the Opinions, not just the highlights. I otherwise think that the book is superb and quite helpful in my class.

 Rights, Liberty, and JusticeMay 10, 2010
By Michael Griswold
"Michael Griswold"
This book serves as a useful companion to the other CLCA title Institutional Power and Constraints and contains excerpted cases on things like incorporation of the Bill of Rights onto States, the Free Exercise of Religion, What constitutes Free Speech, Obscenity and Libel Law and it even includes the excerpted version of Roe v. Wade. For every Con. Law Geek, the real value of the book may be in the online case archive. The online case archive has hundreds of supplemental cases that give the avid law geek hours and hours of enjoyment. I would like to point out to the person who commented about there being no full cases just excerpts of cases, there are many useful websites, such as [...] where the full opinions can be found, to write papers but as the book is designed for college courses full opinions would not be practical because you'd have either a 5,000 page weighty albatross of a book to get all the cases excerpted here in full or a multi-volume edition that would not be cost-efficient to the budgeted college student.

Good textbook for Constitutional LawSep 27, 2009
By G. D.
I used this book in my Constitutional Law and it provided great coverage of landmark Court cases without being too boring! It was an assigned text but I kept it after I finished the class (and even now that I've graduated) because it is very useful when I have constitutional questions.

Constitutional Law for a Changing AmericaFeb 22, 2009
By A. Tran
": )"
The book is mostly consists of case studies. It consists of case facts, majority opinions and dissenting opinions. Some cases doesn't include the full majority or the full dissenting opinion but overall it's ok. Not the greatest textbook ever invented, not the worst.
 Good as can be for subjectJan 28, 2012
By mbk21
Obviously dry subject. Good as you can ask for for a constitutional law textbook. Very clear and easy to follow and a textbook you should hope your professor uses for the subject matter.
