Young's The Supreme Court and the Constitution, 2d

This casebook combines a historically-oriented account of the Supreme Court’s major constitutional cases with in-depth doctrinal surveys of Federalism, Separation of Powers, Due Process, and Equal Protection. It is designed to facilitate the introductory Constitutional Law courses taught in most law schools, rather than to attempt a comprehensive survey of the subject. The casebook does offer considerable flexibility, however, in calibrating the balance between structural issues and individual rights. Finally, the casebook is somewhat distinctive in that it features somewhat longer cuts of principal cases and more extensive historical accounts in the notes, especially for Reconstruction.
