Constitutional Law for a Changing America by Lee J Epstein
Capturing the authors' excitement for constitutional law, this updated Tenth Edition of Constitutional Law for a Changing America shows you how judicial decisions are influenced by political factors--from lawyers and interest groups, to the shifting sentiments of public opinion, to the ideological and behavioral inclinations of the justices. Authors Lee Epstein and Thomas G. Walker show how these dynamics shape the development of constitutional doctrine. Known for fastidious revising and streamlining, the authors incorporate the latest scholarship in the fields of both political science and legal studies and offer solid analysis of both classic and contemporary landmark cases, including key opinions handed down through the 2017 session. Filled with additional supporting material--photographs of the litigants, sidebars comparing the United States with other nations, and Aftermath boxes that tell the stories of the parties′ lives after the Supreme Court has acted--the text helps you develop a thorough understanding of the way the U.S. Constitution protects civil rights and liberties.
