Revised and expanded third edition includes a new chapter on constitutional law (45 short chapters -- 564 pages) and incorporates timely end-of-unit cases that are suitable for briefing and class discussion, and that can be easily assigned for students. "Ethics and the Law: Questions for Further Study" in many chapters, a feature that challenges students (usually from a devil's advocate perspective) to analyze and determine whether the law promotes or impedes justice and ethical standards. Modular style, offering students material in digestible chunks and instructors flexibility in syllabus sequence.
