National Security Law and the Constitution, Third Edition
This casebook offers a thorough analysis of the constitutional foundations of national security law, exploring the complex and often conflicting relationship between constitutional principles and national security policies. The third edition presents a comprehensive and up-to-date examination of the constitutional framework shaping national security powers and their application.

Each chapter features pivotal cases, accompanied by focused questions to help students identify core legal principles and understand their application in real-world contexts. The book is ideal for advanced constitutional law or national security law courses, and also well-suited for students in international relations or national security policy programs.
