Description

While most constitutional law textbooks center federal doctrine, this groundbreaking casebook fills a critical gap in legal education by focusing on state constitutions — their unique role in the federal system, their varied approaches to separated powers, and the distinct frameworks they use to protect individual rights. Students don't just learn what state constitutional law is — they develop the interpretive skills they will rely on throughout their legal careers in any state court system in the country.

Timely, Rigorous, and Practice-Ready are three qualities that make State Constitutional Law: Institutions, Powers, and Rights essential for today's law students and faculty. First, its rich collection of historical materials and primary sources trains students to construct and respond to originalist arguments — the interpretive approach increasingly expected by state and federal judges nationwide — while also providing thorough coverage of competing interpretive methodologies. Second, its extensive materials on race and state constitutions document how state constitutional law has shaped and contributed to the national conversation on race, giving students timely, engaging context that connects doctrine to the real world. Third, its consistent focus on practical interpretation skills ensures students can read and apply state constitutional provisions the moment they enter practice — not just discuss them in the abstract.
