Description
If you are not already using The First Amendment in your course, consider these unique strengths:
- comprehensive, cogent treatment balances historical, theoretical, and practical approaches
- authors highly regarded in the field for the passion and erudition of both their teaching and their scholarship
- developed from the authors' highly successful CONSTITUTIONAL LAW, Fourth Edition, casebook, the text offers more updated and in-depth coverage of first amendment issues than the parent book
- equally useful with a wide range of constitutional law casebooks
- numerous well-crafted problems reinforce learning and build practice skills
- three-quarters of the text is devoted to the topic of free speech, with the remaining quarter dedicated to religionChanges for the Second Edition reflect developments in the classroom as well as the courtroom:
- the entire book is updated with case and note material on major new Supreme Court decisions and the First Amendment implications of September 11
- notes have been streamlined to maintain a trim, teachable length
- major recent cases include: Boy Scouts of America v. Dale, (rights of gays in private organizations), United States v. Playboy Entertainment Group, (televising sexual material), Hill v. Colorado, (anti-abortion demonstrations near health facilities), City of Erie v. Pap's A.M. (illustrating prohibitions on public nudity), and Zelman v. Simmons-Harris, (constitutionality of school voucher programs)You could try to weed out the relevant material in a large constitutional law casebook for your next first amendment class--or you could use the book designed expressly for the purpose, Stone, Seidman, Sunstein,Tushnet, and Karlan's The First Amendment, Second Edition.
