This casebook provides a comprehensive examination and analysis of the inherent tension between the Constitution and select national security policies, and explores the multiple dimensions of that conflict. The third edition comprehensively explores the constitutional foundation for the development of national security policy and the exercise of a wide array of national security powers. Each chapter focuses on critically important precedents, offering targeted questions following each case to assist students in identifying key concepts to draw from the primary sources. Offering students a comprehensive yet focused treatment of key national security law concepts, National Security Law and the Constitution is well suited for a course that is as much an advanced “as applied” constitutional law course as it is a national security law course, as well as for use in advanced international relations and national security policy courses.

New to the Third Edition:

  • New author Amy C. Gaudion, current co-chair of the AALS Section on National Security Law
  • New chapter, “The Role of Law, Lawyers, and Institutions in the National Security Decision-Making Process”— an excellent starting point for raising all students, regardless of experience or prior knowledge, to a basic understanding of core institutions and roles for lawyers in this space before introducing the doctrinal issues addressed in subsequent chapters
  • Reorganization, including two revised and updated chapters that focus on government responses to domestic emergencies and the domestic use of the military
  • New cases, including:
    • Trump v. United States, 603 U.S. ___ (2024)
    • Federal Bureau of Investigation v. Fazaga, 595 U.S. ___ (2022)
    • United States v. Zubaydah, 142 S. Ct. 959 (2022)
    • Van Buren v. United States, 593 U.S. 374 (2021)
    • Trump v. Hawaii, 138 S.Ct. 2392 (2018)
    • Kleindienst v. Mandel, 408 U.S. 753 (1972)
    • Stanley v. Georgia, 394 U.S. 557 (1969)
    • Lamont v. Postmaster General, 381 U.S. 301 (1965)
  • Streamlined chapters to enhance student accessibility—the book has been shortened by 10%, and chapters (averaging 50 pages each) are geared for challenging but manageable weekly reading assignments
  • Carefully edited cases to emphasize key principles
  • Revised and updated discussion questions
