Continuing Cohen, Varat, and Amar's excellent treatment of this area of law, the Concise Twelfth Edition provides an overview and focuses closely on Supreme Court decisions. The concise casebook cites key cases in its discussions of the Court's re-emphasis on federalism disputes, racial gerrymandering, sex discrimination material, and changes in first amendment standards. As with the full coverage edition, this concise casebook contains the raw materials (cases, constitutional provisions, statutes, and historical documents) to give teachers maximum freedom to pursue their own teaching strategies. It contains discussions of cases decided during the October 2003 term, including such recent controversies as the impeachment of President Clinton and Bush v. Gore as well as cases handed down up until the fall of 2005.

Varat, Cohen and Amar's Constitutional Law, Concise 13th (University Casebook Series)

This casebook focuses upon Supreme Court opinions and other primary documents, offering comprehensive coverage of almost all major areas of constitutional doctrine. For decades, the distinctive pedagogical essence of the book – its commitment to providing as much of the raw case, constitutional provision, statutory and historical note material as is practical – has allowed teachers the freedom to structure the course in their own ways, and has encouraged students to formulate their own generalizations directly from the materials. It covers all major topics, including the role of the federal judiciary, separation of powers, federalism, the noncriminal aspects of the Bill of Rights, and the Reconstruction Amendments.

Constitutional Law (University Casebook Series)

The concise edition of this casebook is a compact, easy-to-wield book that focuses on the text of Supreme Court opinions and other primary documents. Like the unabridged edition, it provides as much of the raw case, constitutional provision, and statutory and historical note material as is practical to allow teachers the freedom to structure the course in their own ways and to encourage students to formulate their own generalizations directly from the materials. At about 1,000 pages, it concentrates on the role of the federal judiciary, separation of powers, federalism, all aspects of due process and equal protection, and certain topics within free speech and law and religion.

This supplement brings the main casebook (both the unabridged and concise versions) up to date with recent developments in the law.
