Teachable, manageable, class-sized chunks of material are suited to one-semester courses or reduced credit configurations. Generous case excerpts make the text flexible for most courses, no matter the ideology or interpretative method. Unique, concise coverage of the dormant commerce clause material helps clarify this often murky area. This allows the introduction of discriminatory intent and effects concepts in a less charged setting than race or gender material. Cases are judiciously supplemented with background readings from various sources. Providing additional context, the readings are long enough to help students understand the arguments, and edited where necessary to prevent overwhelming them.\u003cb\u003e Constitutional Law: Cases in Context\u003c\/b\u003e represents rival interpretations of the Constitution by founders, Presidents, and other critics of the Court's decisions better than do many other casebooks. Study guide questions help students focus on the salient issues, challenge them to consider the court's opinions from various perspectives, suggest comparisons or connections with other cases, and invite the student to think about recurring foundational principles and debates.  \u003cp\u003e The \u003cb\u003eSecond Edition\u003c\/b\u003e welcomes Howard E. Katz, of Elon University and co-author of Strategies and Techniques of Law School Teaching: A Primer for New (and Not So New) Professors. Greatly reduced and more tightly edited introductory material preserves and expands content while providing additional balance. The text is updated with the most recent cases throughout. A two-color design features an art program and boxed Study Guides, and the text is available in e-formats as well as print. The \u003cb\u003eSecond Edition \u003c\/b\u003eis one of three volumes specifically tailored for the most common courses, replacing the common one-size-fits-all format. \u003cb\u003eConstitutional Law: Cases in Context\u003c\/b\u003e, is designed for use both in one-semester courses and in two-semester sequences devoted to structure and rights. \u003cb\u003eConstitutional Structure: Cases in Context\u003c\/b\u003e covers Parts I and II of the parent book, and\u003cb\u003e Constitutional Rights: Cases in Context \u003c\/b\u003ecovers Parts I and III.
