<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A host of political factors--both internal and external--influence the Court's decisions and shape the development of constitutional law. Among the more significant forces at work are the ways lawyers and interest groups frame legal disputes, the ideological and behavioral propensities of the justices, the politics of judicial selection, public opinion, and the positions that elected officials take, to name just a few. Combining lessons of the legal model with the influences of the political process, <strong>Constitutional Law for a Changing America</strong> shows how these dynamics shape the development of constitutional doctrine. <br/> <br/> The <strong>Tenth</strong> <strong>Edition</strong> offers rigorous, comprehensive content in a student-friendly manner. With meticulous revising and updating throughout, best-selling authors Lee Epstein and Thomas G. Walker streamline material while accounting for new scholarship and recent landmark cases--including key opinions handed down through the 2018 judicial session. Well-loved features keep students engaged by offering a clear delineation between commentary and opinion excerpts, a Facts and Arguments section before every case, a superb photo program, Aftermath and Global Perspective boxes, and a wealth of tables, figures, and maps. Students will walk away with an understanding that Supreme Court cases involve real people engaged in real disputes and are not merely legal names and citations.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>A host of political factors--both internal and external--influence the Court's decisions and shape the development of constitutional law.

They have provided the gold standard. This book is chalked full of cases, concepts, analysis, and useful tables and charts. I think they present the political discussion in an ideologically neutral manner and stick to the facts when it comes to covering the main material. Epstein and Walker provide all of the tools that are needed for an instructor to properly present the material and for students to easily grasp the concepts in a course involving constitutional principles, institutional powers, and the checks on the exercise of power.--Sean D. Foreman, Ph.D.<br><br>This is the best undergraduate text I've found for teaching the evolution of the Supreme Court's decision-making on constitutional rights and liberties. The authors strike an excellent balance between providing essential contextual material and offering well edited opinions of the Court on key topics. Students consistently respond positively to the textbook because it so engaging and accessible, in terms of both writing style and layout/design.--Linda J. Wharton<br><br>This textbook is a thorough and thought-provoking textbook that provides historical context to assist students in understanding the complex, political, and evolutionary nature of the Supreme Court.--Christi Lee Gramling<br>
