Review (PDF) Essential Supreme Court Decisions: Summaries Of Leading Cases In U.S. Constitutional Law
Revised and now in its 16th edition, Essential Supreme Court Decisions: Summaries of Leading Cases in U.S. Constitutional Law is the most up-to-date and historically thorough guide to the American Supreme Court’s most monumental rulings available today. It proves an indispensable resource for students, lawyers, and anyone interested in our nation's Constitution, and the decisions that continue to shape, define, and challenge it. The Supreme Court grapples every day with issues fundamental to our democracy – from religious expression to freedom of speech to cruel and unusual punishment rulings. Terrorism, profiling, same-sex marriage, police stop-and-search statutes, voting rights and our personal right to privacy, and recent landmark rulings regarding all of these issues are analyzed in this edition, showing us the modern iterations of debates that have raged in some shape or form in America throughout its history.

The content of the book is great, though they are missing some fairly essential cases, such as Cruzan v. Director, Missouri Department of Health and Whitney v. California, as well as around a dozen others. A number of pages were not successfully bound and started falling out after the second day of use. I would buy the book again, or anything else from the author, but the publisher's work is left wanting. Not good for use in school where it would be heavily used.
This is exactly what I need for my criminal justice class. Thanks.
Good!
This is a great reference for Supreme Court Cases. Nice summaries that may lead to looking to the entire opinion. I am using it for a class in public policy and administration.
