Teacher's Manual

The Eighth edition includes a new preface recognizing the seminal importance of American legal history and American jurisprudence at this crucial age in American law and politics, which preface updates and replaces the prior seven prefaces. This edition also adds new materials on the Court’s important recent decision sustaining the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act as well as a new essay on the United States Constitution and Slavery. Finally, more than two dozen important recent works in American Legal History are referenced and used to illuminate pre-existing materials from prior editions. For the first time in 30 years, all of the book’s temporal references have been harmonized and brought up to date. The eighth edition maintains and enhances this casebook’s unchallenged role as the indispensable critical collection of primary sources and commentary on the history of American law, legal institutions, and jurisprudence.
