Constitutional Law in Contemporary America: Volume 1

'The updates in the third edition bring students up to date on the far-reaching changes the Supreme Court has made to constitutional law in the US. I am quite impressed with the authors' clear ability to synergize these cases and changes into the development of law by the nation's high court.' Tim Johnson, University of Minnesota
'What does the Constitution mean now? The pace of change has been dizzying, as both canonical decisions and the Court's process have been upended. Schultz, Vile, and Deardorff have kept pace. From executive power to the rise of the shadow docket, this casebook's even-handed introductions and well-edited cases provide an excellent platform for debating the fundamental questions of American constitutional law.' Patrick Schmidt, Macalester College
'In the new third edition of their casebook, authors David Schultz, John R. Vile, and Michelle D. Deardorff bring to life both historical and contemporary debates, shedding light on political controversies, including how judges and justices shape American politics. Offering a balance of case excerpts and commentary, this new edition begins each chapter with a timeline marking relevant political developments, congressional debates, and court decisions. In addition, the authors provide valuable online materials, including a test bank and PowerPoint slides.' Christine B. Harrington, New York University
