Cases and Materials on Constitutional Law: Themes for the Constitution's Third Century 7th Edition Eskridge 9781685613457

The latest edition of Farber, Eskridge, Frickey, and Schacter’s Cases and Materials on Constitutional Law delves into the most pressing and transformative issues in contemporary constitutional law. It examines the overturning of long-standing precedents on abortion and affirmative action, the expansion of presidential power, and conflicts between the First Amendment and anti-discrimination laws.

The text provides an in-depth exploration of originalism, now the Court’s predominant interpretive approach, tracing its evolution through academic debates surrounding Brown v. Board of Education and analyzing its implications for key constitutional provisions.

It also addresses the Court’s unexpected pivot toward traditionalism, a development that has surprised even proponents of originalism. Additionally, the book emphasizes the profound influence of social movements on constitutional discourse, equipping students to navigate and understand the doctrinal changes they are likely to encounter throughout their careers.
