Description
The First Amendment: Cases, Problems, and Materials 4th Edition Russell L. Weaver ISBN 9780769891750
The Fourth Edition of The First Amendment: Cases, Problems, and Materials continues the problem-based approach of earlier editions, emphasizing longer cases that allow the courts to speak for themselves and minimizing supplementary notes.
This edition features:
-
The most up-to-date cases, including Stevens, Brown Entertainment, Alvarez, and others
-
Refreshed and updated problems for classroom discussion
The authors designed this book as a “teacher’s book”—easy to use, conducive to engaging classroom discussion, and structured to help students master the concepts, doctrines, and analytical tools underlying the First Amendment. It aims to deepen students’ understanding of First Amendment theory, encourage critical insights, foster interactivity, and promote effective, inspired learning.
Problems are central to this approach. They:
-
Clarify doctrinal principles and highlight conflicts
-
Place students in realistic litigation scenarios
-
Encourage examination of First Amendment issues in historical and modern contexts
-
Prepare students for actual legal practice
Some problems focus on ambiguous doctrines, while others ask students to apply established law to new situations. Many position students as lawyers, prompting them to strategize arguments and identify supporting facts. The overarching goal is to strengthen critical thinking and develop core lawyering skills.
While this casebook includes landmark decisions, it does not attempt to catalog every ruling in the field. Case selections are made based on their modern relevance, status as essential precedents, or their ability to provide critical context and enrich understanding.
The accompanying Teacher’s Manual helps instructors navigate the material, summarize cases, suggest doctrinal or theoretical approaches, provide options for classroom use, and supply answers to the casebook problems.

Rental returns: free at semester's end, refundable within 30 days
Print a prepaid return label from your account whenever you have finished with the book, and drop it at the carrier listed on the label. Returning it by your semester return date, or after it is already overdue, is free with no deduction. 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.
-
Purchase returns: 15% restocking fee
Purchases can be returned within 30 days in the condition you received. We will email a prepaid return label; once we receive your book, we refund the purchase price minus the 15% restocking fee and the return label cost. Original shipping is non-refundable.

Shipping costs calculated at checkout
Real-time rates are quoted at checkout based on your address and the books in your cart. Returning your book by your semester date is always free; an early return deducts the restocking fee and label cost from your refund instead.
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.
