This supplement brings the principal text current with recent
developments in the law.
This widely adopted soft cover casebook, adapted from Choper, Dorf,
Fallon, and Schauer's Constitutional Law but with numerous
additional references and comments, is designed for a two- or
three-unit course in the First Amendment. The new Seventh Edition
has been thoroughly revised, tightened, and updated. The authors
present the materials in a way that permits instructors to depart
from the organization of the casebook with relative ease. The
authors also expose students to original perspectives or
perspectives they might otherwise miss. Notes and questions enable
students to study the variety of competing views embodying the
First Amendment as they emerge from concrete cases rather than
imposing an abstract characterization and classification on the
student at the outset of the study. And the extensive references
help students to situate the cases within larger academic and
theoretical debates. The new edition of the casebook contains a
revised organization of the basic freedom of speech materials on
content regulation, forum analysis, and the coverage/scope of the
First Amendment, and further includes hundreds of new cases and
references. There has been substantial editing to make way for the
new material, and thus the book remains of appropriate size for
either a two- or three-unit course. The new speech cases cover
issues involving the types of content regulation (Reed v. Town of
Gilbert), government speech (Walker v. Texas Division, Sons of
Confederate Veterans), racist speech (Matal v. Tam), commercial
speech (Expressions Hair Design v. Schneiderman), compelled
expression (Janus v. AFSCME and National Institute of Family and
Life Advocates v. Becerra), and government motive (Heffernan v.
City of Paterson). On freedom of religion, the 7th edition adds
extensive coverage of the new cases involving argued hostility to
particular religions or religious beliefs (Masterpiece Cakeshop v.
Colorado Civil Rights Commission and Trump v. Hawaii) while also
providing materials to facilitate discussion and analysis of
questions regarding claimed exemptions from laws of general
application.

This outline clearly examines the full range of issues that arise
in classes focused on business organizations. The central
distinctions among business forms such as general and limited
partnerships, limited liability corporations as well as close and
public corporations. Both federal and state statutes that regulate
the affairs of corporations are examined. The legal requirements
for their formation, operation and management. Also includes
shareholders' right to inspect records, shareholders' suits,
capitalization, dividends, redemption of shares, fundamental
changes in corporate structure, and applicable conflict of laws
principles. Contemporary practices and legal provisions addressing
corporate governance are described. Special attention is given to
the fiduciary obligations of owners and managers as well as the
governance rights of shareholders. The materials provide detailed
coverage of the federal provisions addressing proxy solicitations,
insider trading, disclosure requirements and the scope of the
anti-fraud provision Rule 10b-5. The outline provides comprehensive
treatment of a wide range of mergers and acquisition issues
including the procedural requirements to effect acquisitions, the
fiduciary obligations to defend and transfer control, and the
intricate case law surrounding self-dealing acquisitions.
This long-popular casebook has two main distinguishing attributes.
First, because students benefit from sustained engagement with
Supreme Court opinions, pivotal cases are edited less substantially
than in many other books. Second, because Constitutional Law is an
argumentative practice situated in ongoing debates, this edition
follows its predecessors in exposing students to diverse
perspectives in the Notes and Questions that follow most principal
cases. Instructors will especially like the illuminating and
provocative extracts from the literature that accompany important
new cases. In preparing the new edition, the editors have made
judicious cuts to enable the addition of new material and have
thoroughly revised several chapters to reflect developments in the
case law.

'Warren era' law and the ways in which his character and background

Although the Constitution of the United States of America states
that there shall be no laws that either establish or prohibit
religion, the application of the Religion Clauses throughout United
States history has been fraught with conflict and ambiguity. In
this book, a constitutional scholar proposes a set of guidelines
meant to provide for the consistent application of the First
Amendment's Religion Clauses. Choper's guidelines are designed to
provide maximum protection for religious freedom without granting
anyone an advantage, inflicting a disadvantage or causing an unfair
burden. Though not calling for the wholesale overturning of
judicial precedents or established social practices, the standards
he proposes would result in significant - and controversial -
modifications to existing doctrines and customs. Choper argues, for
instance, that while vocal prayer and Bible reading in public
schools should continue to be prohibited, we can and should allow
for silent prayer and objective courses in creation science. His
standards would also, among other things, eliminate the tax
exemption on property used exclusively for religious purposes,
while allowing parochial schools to receive public funds for the
non-religious component of their education.
