Constitut Law F/...short-w/99-03 Supp

Responding to the needs of professors who teach one-term courses or those teaching two-term courses who wish to assign other readings, Lee Epstein and Thomas G. Walker wrote an innovative one-volume text that uses the same approach as their highly-acclaimed two volume text of the same name. Now available in a revised second edition, this "short course" contains excerpts of only the most important constitutional cases (including key dissenting and concurring opinions) while it discusses many others within the narrative so students gain a fuller understanding of the development of the law.This sophisticated yet very accessible text blends the best of legal and political science approaches to constitutional law. Recognizing the political factors that influence judicial decisions, the authors emphasize the arguments raised by lawyers and interest groups and include materials that bring out the rich political context in which decisions are made. To animate the subject for students, Epstein and Walker have included photographs of the litigants, exhibits from the cases, and full descriptions of events that led to the suits.Epstein, Lee is the author of 'Constitut Law F/...short-w/99-03 Supp' with ISBN 9781568028699 and ISBN 1568028695.
