Teacher’s Manual – 5th Edition

• The Sixth Edition includes important updates on the law of the legislative process—notably developments in caselaw and scholarship addressed to electoral structures (one person-one vote; racial and national origin vote dilution; political gerrymandering); campaign finance; bribery of public officials; and statutory interpretation of initiatives.
• In addition, the Sixth Edition continues and expands its in-depth treatment of the theory and practice of statutory interpretation. This treatment includes recent debates among textualists, legal process theorists, and pragmatists about future directions of interpretation in a post-Scalia era. In terms of practice, the new edition creates separate chapters addressing intrinsic sources (dictionaries and canons) and extrinsic sources (influences of the common law, legislative background, other statutes), focusing on new directions taken by the Supreme Court.
• The Sixth Edition also addresses Trump-era developments involving the law of regulation, including the nondelegation doctrine at the state level as well as national; new court decisions addressing appointment and removal powers and implementation of the Administrative Procedure Act; and efforts by Congress and the Trump Administration to roll back certain powers and prerogatives of the regulatory state.
