Constitutional Law: Cases in Context, Fifth Edition

Constitutional Law: Cases in Context explores the development of American constitutional law from the Founding to the present, emphasizing its foundational principles, enduring debates, and competing interpretations. By combining leading cases with historical and legal context, the book presents the narratives and perspectives that every lawyer should understand and constitutional practitioners must know.

Organized into manageable, class-sized assignments, the casebook is well suited to one-semester courses and reduced-credit configurations. Generous case excerpts provide flexibility for a variety of course structures, while carefully selected background readings enrich the material. Innovative study guide questions placed before each case help students identify key issues, evaluate judicial opinions from different perspectives, and recognize connections among cases.

Rental Terms

Return by May 25, 2027 for Spring 2027 rentals.

Late Fees: Books returned after the semester deadline accrue a weekly late fee of about 10% of the book's Brand New price, for each copy that is overdue. The rent you have already paid counts toward the book's replacement value (its Brand New price), so late fees stop once your rent plus late fees reach it. That replacement value is the most a rental can ever cost you. We email a reminder 48 hours before any charge, and any late fees are charged to the payment method you save at checkout.
Damage Fees: Books returned damaged beyond normal classroom wear may be assessed a damage fee, capped at the book's replacement value (its Brand New price). Any damage fees are charged to the payment method you save at checkout after we inspect the returned book.
Return Shipping: Returning your book is free with no deduction if it reaches us by your semester return date, or after it's already overdue. Print a prepaid label (USPS or UPS, whichever is cheaper for your package) from your account's My Rentals page. Returning it early and shipping it back within 30 days of your order date gets you a refund minus a 15% restocking fee and the label cost. After 30 days, an early return is free, with no refund.
30-Day Refund Window: Changed your mind? Cancel before your book ships and it’s free: open the order under My Account → Orders and click Cancel next to the book. Once it has shipped, you can return a rental for a refund from My Account → My Rentals. To qualify, the book must be shipped back within 30 days of your order date. We refund the rental price minus a 15% restocking fee and the return label cost, released once we receive your book. Shipping is non-refundable. A rental shipped back after 30 days is a regular end-of-semester return, with no refund.
