Book
The Supreme Court and civil liberties policy / by Richard C. Cortner.
Richard Cortner provides in-depth studies of six recent Supreme Court cases focusing on the nationalization of the Bill of Rights, free expression, criminal procedures, church-state relations, and equal protection. Unlike the typical casebook in constitutional law which consists chiefly of excerpts from Supreme Court decisions introduced by brief editorial comments, this text provides extensive background for each case.
