This casebook provides the most complete treatment available of
constitutional tort actions under 42 U.S.C. 1983 and Bivens. The
elaborate and increasingly controversial doctrines of official
immunity are examined in detail, as is the possibility of direct
governmental liability under Monell v. Dept. of Social Services.
The Fifth Edition also provides complete coverage of the Civil
Rights Attorney's Fees Award Act and its implications for
constitutional tort litigation. The book also explores the relation
of 1983 to the Eleventh Amendment, to the potential overlap with
federal habeas corpus, to the application of doctrines of
preclusion, and to conflicts between state and federal law. It also
provides an introduction to other Reconstruction Civil Rights Acts
( 1981, 1982, and 1985), to modern statutes such as Title VII and
Title IX (which add sex discrimination to previously prohibited
grounds of discrimination), and to structural reform litigation in
schools and prisons.

This casebook first presents clinical background and summarizes the
history of the insanity defense. The heart of the book features
extensive excerpts of testimony from the trial of John W. Hinckley
Jr., and draws out the widely contrasting accounts of Hinckley's
psychiatric condition, motivations, and legal responsibility at the
time of the offense. The text then reviews public reactions to the
verdict, poses comments and questions about the trial, and
summarizes the legislative reforms of insanity defense that
followed the verdict. The book concludes by reviewing the 35-year
period of judicial oversight of Hinckley's hospitalization,
treatment, outpatient supervision and release.

This casebook features rigorous analysis of legal doctrine
positioned against a backdrop of cultural and political debate. Its
core is the act and mental state requirements of both the common
law and the Model Penal Code. Topics of current interest include
sexual assault, stand-your-ground laws, battered woman's syndrome,
the insanity defense, and capital punishment. The chapter on
liability for the conduct of another is completely new. It
integrates treatment of two doctrinal paths to that result,
complicity and conspiracy, beginning with the Supreme Court's 2014
Rosemond decision and combining consideration of other doctrines
common to both.
