  Franklin, Rabin, and Green's Tort Law and Alternatives, Cases and Materials, 9th
by Marc A. Franklin, Robert L Rabin and Michael D. Green. This casebook is designed to reflect more accurately the way that Constitutional Law is generally taught in contemporary law schools. Most schools no longer attempt to offer a comprehensive survey course; rather, they offer an introduction to the subject that omits topics like the First Amendment and frequently focuses on issues of constitutional structure. The basic idea of this book is to conform the casebook more closely to the subjects actually covered in most introductory constitutional law courses. The book also tries to capture the best of both topical and historical arrangements.

This book makes no attempt at comprehensive coverage. It combines a historical approach in the first half of the book with a very thorough doctrinal treatment of structural questions in the second. The book departs from most other casebooks in the field by offering longer cuts of fewer key cases, rather than trying to treat every significant case. The underlying theory is that the justices are considerably less cryptic when one includes a greater proportion of their explanations, and that the extra reading load is more than offset by the decrease in confusion.

This book is divided into two principal parts. The first offers a general survey of judicial review, arranged as a history of the U.S. Supreme Court from Marbury to Bush v. Gore. This history accomplishes several goals: It presents an overall picture of the institution of judicial review as it has evolved over our history; it introduces the basics of a number of rights issues (e.g., equal protection and race, due process and privacy) not covered elsewhere in the course; and it exposes students to different theoretical approaches to constitutional interpretation. The second half of the book presents an in-depth doctrinal study of federalism and separation of powers, arranged topically and with particular emphasis on current law.

  Glicksman and Levy's Administrative Law: Agency Action in Legal Context
by Robert L Glicksman and Richard E. Levy This casebook focuses on five representative agencies to provide students with a more holistic understanding of the structure and functions of agencies, to illustrate the kinds of actions agencies take to implement their statutory mandates, and to provide context for examining the legal constraints on those actions.

Two key problems for teaching and learning administrative law are (1) students’ lack of familiarity with agencies, what they do, and their role in the tri-partite system of government established by the Constitution; and (2) the need to understand new and different agencies and figure out their organic statutes for each new administrative law case.

Other key features of the book are:
  • The use of a consistent “unit” format throughout the book to maximize student understanding
  • Adaptability to various teaching methods (e.g., lecture, Socratic, or problem method).
  • Flexibility of coverage, including unit clusters that allow teachers to decide the level of coverage for key topics, ranging from a basic overview provided by a single unit to more extensive treatment through coverage of several related units
By focusing on five important and representative agencies (the EPA, NLRB, SSA, IRS, and FCC), the book addresses both problems. Extended treatment of these agencies, including one chapter each that uses the agency to present the legal issues surrounding a particular kind of agency action (e.g., EPA to illustrate administrative law issues concerning rulemaking, the NLRB to illustrate the issues arising from agency efforts to make policy through adjudication), provides students with a clearer sense of how agencies are structured, what they do, and how they do it. In addition, our book provides an efficient mechanism for teaching and learning about administrative law: because the principal cases used to illustrate administrative law doctrine and present administrative law issues involve the same five agencies, the need to learn about new agencies and understand new organic statutes is greatly reduced, enabling students and teachers to focus on the administrative law issues in the cases.

Federal Administrative Law, Cases and Materials by Kristin E. Hickman and Richard J. Pierce Jr. This casebook is designed with an emphasis on accessibility, includes many discussion problems and questions focusing on real-world application, and gives students a solid grounding in the basic principles of administrative law that they might come across in regulatory practice.

While it pays due attention to the historical evolution of the doctrine in certain areas, this casebook focuses more heavily on current standards. Administrative law as a subject matter encompasses some very interesting theoretical discussions. Rather than remain strictly theoretical to the point of bordering on encyclopedic, this book tends toward the more practical, while still including enough reference to theory to enable a professor who wants to introduce more theoretical discussion into the classroom to do so.

Legislation and Regulation
by John F. Manning, and Matthew C. Stephenson. This casebook is specifically designed for a first-year class on legislation and regulation and provides a proven, ready-to-use set of materials for schools or instructors interested in introducing such a class to their 1L curriculum. This book is based on the materials used in Harvard Law School's 1L Legislation and Regulation course, which has rapidly become one of the most popular and effective courses in Harvard's 1L curriculum and one of the most successful experiments in introducing statutory and regulatory law and principles into the first year.

Gellhorn and Byse's Administrative Law, Cases and Comments, 11th, by Strauss, Rakoff, Farina and Metzger by Peter L. Strauss, Todd Rakoff, Cynthia R. Farina, Gillian E. Metzger. This authoritative casebook presents a comprehensive treatment of the doctrinal basis of administrative law that students need to know to practice competently and also a substantial development of the scholarly literature that has, from many perspectives, critiqued the existing law. The 11th edition continues the tradition of offering instructors a rich theoretical, historical and political context for the cases. At the same time, recognizing changing pedagogical demand, the book offers a leaner presentation of many topics and more cues for helping students navigate the book. Learn more.
