Discription

The auhtor's natural and relaxed writing style engages students with direct prose arranged in short chapters followed by hypothetical cases. The text is presented in a modular style, offering students material in digestible chunks. This revised and expanded third edition includes a new chapter on constitutional law (45 chapters in all) and incorporates timely end-of-unit cases that can be assigned for students to brief and/or to stimulate class discussion. Most chapters also include an “Ethics and the Law: Questions for Further Study” 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.
