Summary

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.
