This book contains well selected cases along with substantial scholarly textual material introducing each topic or case. The student is given insights into both historical development and applicable theory. The approach is “show the ball” so as to enable the student to get more deeply into the challenging material. Each case is followed by extensive notes and questions designed to extend student thinking and reasoning. The book also comes with a detailed teacher's manual that summarizes the key points of each case, provides discussion points on interesting questions of law on each case, and answers each question posed in the Notes and Questions in each section.
