Description
Federal Habeas Corpus: Executive Detention and Post-Conviction Litigation 2nd Edition Brandon L. Garrett ISBN 9781684678662
This casebook is the first to provide comprehensive coverage of federal habeas corpus, offering a clear and accessible framework for understanding both post-conviction review and executive detention litigation. It is designed for use in dedicated habeas corpus courses, as well as in classes focused on post-conviction litigation, wrongful convictions, and national security detention.
The book begins with two foundational chapters introducing the habeas privilege and the Suspension Clause, grounding students in the constitutional underpinnings of habeas relief. A four-chapter unit on post-conviction litigation then offers an in-depth examination of cognizability, procedural barriers, and the adjudication of claims on the merits. Two additional chapters explore the critical role of habeas corpus in reviewing immigration detention and other forms of civil confinement. A substantial two-chapter unit is devoted to habeas review in the context of national security custody, addressing both doctrinal developments and institutional challenges.
This revised second edition incorporates the most recent Supreme Court decisions affecting federal habeas corpus, provides updated summaries of significant developments in the lower courts, and integrates the latest scholarly perspectives. Together, these materials equip students with a rigorous and contemporary understanding of habeas corpus as a central mechanism for safeguarding individual liberty.

Shipping & Returns

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.
