Böcker av Richard H. Fallon

This casebook has two main distinguishing attributes. Because students benefit from engagement with Supreme Court opinions, pivotal cases are edited less substantially than in other books. And, because Constitutional Law is an argumentative practice, this edition follows its predecessors in exposing students to diverse perspectives.

Richard Fallon offers theories of constitutional law and judicial legitimacy that accept many tenets of legal realism but reject its corrosive cynicism. Based on an ideal of good faith, his account both illuminates current practice and prescribes urgently needed responses to a legitimacy crisis in which the Supreme Court is increasingly enmeshed.
