Download or read book Constitutional Law written by Russell L. Weaver and published by Aspen Publishing. This book was released on 2024-03-25 with total page 1361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Constitutional Law: Cases, Materials, and Problems, Sixth Edition by Russell L. Weaver and Steven Friedland is a casebook designed as a teacher’s book by stimulating thought, inviting discussion, and helping professors more effectively teach. Its thought-provoking problem approach encourages students to delve deeper into constitutional doctrine and gives them an accessible and interesting way to learn constitutional issues. Problems at the beginning of each chapter are referenced throughout the text for continuity. Principal constitutional law cases are edited as lightly as possible to allow the Supreme Court to speak for itself, with shorter notes that accompany the problems. This new edition is much shorter than previous editions so that it can be comfortably taught in a four credit, one semester course. This casebook makes Constitutional Law accessible and teachable. It will help students understand constitutional theory, lead students to greater insights, generate classroom interactivity and provide a platform for inspired learning. The casebook includes problems with many different models and formats. Many problems are factual in nature and are designed to encourage students to ponder how constitutional doctrine might apply in particular contexts. In some instances, these fact-based problems are premised upon actual cases, including U.S. Supreme Court cases. Other problems are theoretical in nature and are simply designed to help students better understand constitutional doctrine. New to the Sixth Edition. The sixth edition includes many new cases. Among them are: Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization (the abortion decision) Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard and Students for Fair Admission v. University of North Carolina (the affirmative action decision) West Virginia v. EPA (the major questions doctrine) Biden v. Nebraska )the student loan case) Professors and students will benefit from: ● Lightly edited cases allow students to see the fullest possible analysis of the law. ● Diverse perspectives are presented on constitutional interpretation, federalism, and public policy. ● An emphasis on federalism and other oft-marginalized topics– compared to other constitutional law casebooks, this text spends considerable time on federalism, balance of powers, and other topics that are sometimes only given passing reference. ● A complete examination of Second Amendment rights and executive power.

Download or read book Constitutional Separation of Powers written by Thomas Martin Beck and published by Vandeplas Pub.. This book was released on 2010-12 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is intended to offer a constructive overview of the essential and most intriguing issues within the study of separation of powers. It is also designed to be a casebook from which an engaging course on the subject can be taught. Primarily through review and discussion of 39 carefully selected cases, the book covers topics such as the scope of Executive Branch power and privilege, Congressional authority and prerogatives, and the role of the courts in refereeing disputes between the political branches. The final two (of ten) chapters focus on the shared war power; its historical uses, abuses, and limits; and how the 21st century's War on Terror has occasioned greater judicial oversight on its exercise, particularly with respect to the treatment of enemy combatants. Many other cases are referenced to illustrate specific points, and other materials -- such as internal Executive Branch legal memos, congressional authorizations for the use of force, and selected Federalist Papers -- are used to provide context for the operation of separation of powers principles. Discussion and questions throughout the book challenge the reader to think critically about whether, in practice, the separation of powers framework set forth in the Constitution is playing out as the Framers intended. The reader is also asked to consider how separation of powers questions would be answered in hypothetical situations not yet addressed by the courts. About the Author After graduating from the University of Virginia School of Law, Thomas Beck spent 16 years practicing law in Washington, DC. He has appeared in federal and state trial courts throughout the United States and has argued several cases in the United States Courts of Appeals. In 2008, after being nominated by President George W. Bush and unanimously confirmed by the United States Senate, he became Chairman of the Federal Labor Relations Authority (FLRA). At the FLRA, he has participated in published decisions resolving nearly 500 legal disputes. He has taught courses on separation of powers and the legislative process at the George Mason University School of Law. As this book goes to print, he has been nominated by President Barack Obama to be a Member of the National Mediation Board and his nomination is pending in the Senate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Judicial decisions are influenced by myriad 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 rock-solid analysis of both classic and contemporary landmark cases, including key opinions handed down through the 2015 session. Filled with supporting material—photographs of the litigants, sidebars comparing the U.S. with other nations, and "Aftermath" boxes that tell the stories of the parties' lives after the Supreme Court has acted—the text encourages greater student engagement with the material and a more complete understanding of the American constitution.
