The fifth edition of the casebook, which is suitable either for a
one- or two-semester course, strives to make constitutional law
easily teachable and readily accessible for students. The authors
have selected the cases very carefully and provided extensive
excerpts of the opinions so that students get a good sense of the
Court's reasoning. Text boxes call the students' attention to
important aspects of each opinion, and the book is filled with
introductions, points for discussion, hypotheticals, and executive
summaries. The authors present a diversity of views on every
subject, and, reflecting some of their own disagreements, the
authors have written point-counterpoint discussions on many
disputed questions. CasebookPlus Hardbound - New, hardbound print
book includes lifetime digital access to an eBook, with the ability
to highlight and take notes, and 12-month access to a digital
Learning Library that includes self-assessment quizzes tied to this
book, leading study aids, an outline starter, and Gilbert Law
Dictionary.
The third edition of Volume 1 of the casebook is designed
specifically for use by undergraduate and graduate students who are
interested in Constitutional Law but who are not law students. The
casebook differs from many other textbooks aimed at this audience
because it enables students to read the Supreme Court's decisions
rather than just reading about them. To make this possible, the
casebook defines legal terms, explains court procedures, and
provides other background information that would be unfamiliar to
non-law students. In writing the book, the authors have strived to
make constitutional law easily teachable and readily accessible.

The Third Edition of this textbook (formerly Maggs and Schenck's
Modern Military Justice) comprehensively covers the modern military
justice system of the United States under the Uniform Code of
Military Justice. It has been updated to address significant
changes made in the 2019 Manual for Courts-Martial, the Military
Justice Act of 2016, and other recent legislation. The materials
included come from every Service within the Armed Forces and show
how the military justice system addresses criminal offenses,
ranging from minor infractions to serious offenses such as the
misconduct of soldiers at Abu Ghraib prison. The text covers the
jurisdiction of courts-martial; sources of military law; the role
of judge advocates; military offenses and defenses; pre-trial,
trial, and appellate military justice (criminal) procedures;
nonjudicial punishment and other alternatives to courts-martial;
expanding military justice including trial of civilians by
courts-martial; the relationship of courts-martial to state and
federal courts; and much more. All chapters include policy
questions about currently controversial issues. The text is
appropriate for all students, whether or not they have had prior
military experience.
