Cases and Materials on Legislation: Statutes and the Creation of Public Policy (American Casebook Series)

The new SECOND EDITION of Eskridge and Frickey's popular legislation casebook has been updated through the end of the Supreme Court's 1993-94 Term, including extensive coverage of the presumption of statutory prospectivity (Landgraf v USI Film Products and Rivers V. Roadway Express, Inc.). The authors have also reorganized and expanded analysis of statutory interpretation that improves upon the pathbreaking coverage in the first edition, with separate chapters that introduce the subject theoretically and historically and then provide complete doctrinal coverage. The NEW EDITION also contains reorganized and expanded coverage of regulation of representation structures and regulation of legislative deliberation.

The authors have tried to provide some historical context for modern doctrine, and to give at least a brief treatment of less contentious areas of law. They also have tried to show students how these issues pervade constitutional law and to provide students with tools for more intense thinking. The authors start with Brown v. Board of Education and the historical litigation background of that case to generate greater initial enthusiasm in students.
