Constitutional Law: An Integrated Approach
This title utilizes the CasebookPlus™ platform. Learn more at
Faculty-CasebookPlus.com.
This Constitutional Law casebook combines thick historical context with serious exploration of doctrine on its own terms, thereby achieving a rare balance of accessibility and depth. Its core commitment is to allocate student preparation time wisely. Excerpts have been pared down with a scalpel; cases and documents speak for themselves; and the editors' text and notes prioritize clarity over bloat. The materials' versatility facilitates a wide range of organizational syllabus choices, including both doctrinal and chronological organization.
The teacher's manual incorporates modularized instruction units with Socratic interactions, discussion hypos, and background material to enhance instructor understanding of less familiar topics. The manual also includes a diverse suite of best-in-class teaching materials, including slides, charts, and images; in-class exercises; and models for real-time whiteboarding. The materials have all been successfully road tested at law schools around the country.
This title utilizes the CasebookPlus™ platform. Anchored by faculty-authored formative self-assessments, CasebookPlus allows students to test their understanding of core concepts as they are learning them in class with quizzes keyed to each chapter, subject area review quizzes, and helpful explanations.
