Constitutional Law / Edition 6

by John E. Nowak, Ronald D. Rotunda

Overview

In this text the authors provide analysis of the constitutional issues that are most studied and litigated today. As in earlier editions of this single volume book, little attention is given to issues that are not commonly studied in law school courses on constitutional law, such as court jurisdiction, conflict of laws, and criminal procedure.Within each Chapter the reader will find subsections that differ in length and depth of treatment of particular issues, varying from summations of the Supreme Court's work to lengthy, analytical evaluations of the judicial process. The authors hope that each major section, when reviewed as a unit, will give an accurate picture of what the Court has done and an evaluation of that work in terms of accepted scholarly critiques and their own analyses.
