Constitutional Law

Constitutional Law, 7th Edition, is a casebook that examines American constitutional law and major Supreme Court jurisprudence. Author Erwin Chemerinsky presents foundational principles alongside significant legal developments that have reshaped the field.

Coverage addresses recent shifts concerning the religion clauses of the First Amendment, Second Amendment rights, and affirmative action. The volume explores these legal transformations through key rulings, including the Supreme Court's decision overruling Roe v. Wade in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization.

The casebook adopts a flexible organization to accommodate diverse course structures, ensuring chapters do not assume familiarity with earlier content. Individual units balance primary decisions with background essays and present materials edited to maintain ideological neutrality.
