Description
Constitutional Law: A Contemporary Approach 7th Edition Gregory E. Maggs ISBN 9798892097895
The seventh edition of this casebook, designed for either a one- or two-semester course, makes constitutional law both accessible and engaging for students. Carefully selected cases include extensive excerpts to give readers a clear understanding of the Court’s reasoning.
Text boxes highlight key points within each opinion, while introductions, discussion prompts, hypotheticals, and executive summaries guide students through complex concepts. The authors present a wide range of perspectives on every topic, and thoughtfully include point-counterpoint discussions on many debated issues, reflecting both the Court’s and the authors’ differing viewpoints.
The seventh edition includes important recently decided cases, including Trump v. United States (on presidential immunity); Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. v. President and Fellows of Harvard College (on equal protection and affirmative action); United States v. Skrmetti (on equal protection and gender identity); 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis (on compelled speech); and Mahmoud v. Taylor (on free exercise and the right of parents to opt out of public school lessons). The seventh edition also contains new problems based on recent cases concerning standing and content-based regulation of speech.
Changes to the seventh edition include:
8 new Supreme Court cases;
2 new problems based on other recent Supreme Court cases;
streamlining of case excerpts

Shipping & Returns
-
Fast, standard shipping
Most students receive their books in 3 to 9 business days.
-
Free rental returns, whenever you are done
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 early costs you nothing: it is the same free label, and sending it back sooner is welcome. Just be sure it reaches us by the semester deadline to avoid late fees.
-
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 is always free.
Rental Terms
Return by December 28, 2026 for Fall 2026 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: print a prepaid label (USPS or UPS, whichever is cheaper for your package) from your account's My Rentals page, whether you send it back early or on the semester deadline. Cancelling a shipped rental for a refund is different: there, the return label cost comes out of your refund.
- 30-Day Cancellation
- Changed your mind? Cancel an active rental within 30 days of your order from My Account → My Rentals. Cancel before your book ships and it’s free; once it has shipped, 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.
