Author Description

An annually-revised paperback designed for a single-semester course on constitutional law. The renowned authors are co-editors of a long-time favorite teaching book, Constitutional Law: Cases, Comments & Questions. "Leading Cases," which is an edited-down version of that book, contains "the essentials" for teaching a basic course in constitutional law. Because the organization of the compact book parallels that of the much lengthier Choper - Dorf - Fallon - Schauer casebook, which contains extensive Notes & Questions, the latter can serve as a "resource" book for instructors teaching from the paperback. This edition of "Leading Cases" is up to date through the completion of the Supreme Court Term that ends in July 2025. Subsequent editions of "Leading Cases" will continue to be published every summer for classroom use in the fall and will include all the significant cases handed down during the most recent Supreme Court Term.
