Constitutional Law with a Twist: Less Is More

Constitutional Law with a Twist: Less is More is designed for a one-semester survey course on federal constitutional law. The casebook covers the content of a typical four-credit survey course: the structure of the U.S. government and individual rights (other than First Amendment rights and rights unique to criminal law). What differentiates this casebook from most other constitutional law casebooks is that this book is deliberately short.

Constitutional Rights

This is the second edition of Constitutional Rights, designed for a one-semester survey course on federal constitutional rights. In a time of significant doctrinal fluidity, the casebook aims to provide students with historical and conceptual tools to critically evaluate how and why the Supreme Court has shaped the landscape of rights jurisprudence.
