Constitutional Law for a Changing America: Institutional Powers and Constraints

by Lee J. Epstein, Thomas G. Walker

With meticulous revising and updating throughout, Epstein and Walker streamline material while accounting for recent landmark cases and new scholarship. This seventh edition features two important improvements:

a completely revamped interior layout and design that clearly delineates between commentary and opinion excerpts while more effectively showcasing photos, Justice biographies, and the Aftermath and Global Perspective sidebars. the case commentary not only details the case Facts, but now also includes an Arguments section that details the attorneys arguments for each side leading to more focused and effective reading of the case.

[Anthony Zupancic · Rating 5 out of 5]

It's a good collection of cases, organized thematically, for an undergrad constitutional law class.

Pretty good for an undergraduate Con Law book.

[Mike · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a textbook, but I thought that it was a very good one if you have any interest in the topic. The book mixes case law review and interpretation in a very symbiotic way.

A very good, thorough text on the basics of Con Law - the institutional foundations.
