Since the first publication of Modern Constitutional Law forty years ago, it has continued to be one of the best sellers in a very competitive market. Over the years, many law professors have adopted this user-friendly casebook - which is no surprise, given the rave reviews the book has enjoyed. For example, Professor Thomas E. Baker stated that he has "been so loyal to the Rotunda brand name over the years," because it "remarkabl[y]" manages "to include all the important cases yet preserves a fuller set of opinions to guarantee 'thoughtful classroom discussion'." This Twelfth Edition incorporates many changes in Constitutional law, including limiting federal courts' power to review partisan state gerrymanders, limits on government-compelled speech, refusing to give the President immunity from subpoenas by prosecutors and Congress for the President's private papers, freeing churches from burdens on free exercise of religion, striking down abortion restrictions, and refining powers under the commerce clause.

This supplement brings the principal text current with recent developments in the law.

Authoritative coverage examines the constitutional issues that are studied and litigated today. This text thoroughly analyzes and discusses the origins of judicial review and federal jurisdiction, the sources of national authority, the growth of federal commerce and fiscal powers, and the limits on state laws that burden interstate commerce. This book then explores and analyzes individual liberties and due process, including equal protection, freedom of speech and religion, federal powers to enforce the Bill of Rights, and limitations on the jurisdiction of federal courts. Finally, this one-volume treatise explores the separation of powers including the restrictions on the foreign affairs power and the recent cases on the war on terror. This book has been cited by state and federal courts at all levels, from trial court to the U.S. Supreme Court, over 1,000 times.

This new edition of Owen's Products Liability Law refines and updates this classic study of products liability law in action. It examines in depth the nature and history of products liability in America and abroad; theories of liability, product defectiveness, and causation; proof of defect and cause (including toxic substances), with a Daubert emphasis; key defenses, including federal preemption; and a thorough inquiry into many special types of products liability contexts (including cases against sellers of electronic and biologic products), claims against Amazon for "selling" defective third-party products, automotive cases, and pharmaceutical litigation. Throughout, the treatise explores the underlying tensions and debates, explains the impact of the Restatement of the Law of Torts, Third: Products Liability, highlights classic and important recent cases, and reveals how reform statutes alter this ever-shifting field of law.

The 14th Edition of Professional Responsibility: Problems & Materials continues the traditions that have made this book a leader in its field for over 45 years. Built around problems, the book asks students to think about how they should behave in challenging, concrete settings. The 14th Edition remains flexible enough to use in an overview course and challenging enough to use in ethics courses focused on particular areas of practice. It comprehensively addresses the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct, but also deals with additional issues raised in the Restatement (Third): The Law Governing Lawyers and in state rules that illustrate different ways to regulate lawyer conduct. Perhaps most important, the 14th Edition keeps up with a rapidly-changing legal profession and with changes in lawyer regulation that respond to new developments. The book considers how the Covid-19 pandemic has changed the potential for virtual lawyer practice and increased tolerance of practice from outside a lawyer's licensing jurisdiction. It examines the protection of confidential client information in a world where potential hackers threaten lawyer data and it introduces forms of litigation finance that may revolutionize how firms handle cases. It expands coverage of lawyer counseling and responds to issues of diversity, and it deals with Utah's Regulatory Sandbox and Arizona's rule changes that, even now, let regulators see new forms of practice take shape and assess the risks and benefits of the possible new future. Since 1976, the authors of Professional Responsibility: Problems & Materials have helped students prepare to respond to professional challenges they will meet upon graduation, but also to understand how their profession and its challenges are changing. The new 14th Edition continues to meet those objectives.

In addition to the 13th edition, the authors now offer an Abridged Version. Continuing the tradition that has made Morgan, Rotunda, and Dzienkowski's Problems & Materials on Professional Responsibility a leader in its field, this abridged version of the casebook uses problems to provide an overview of lawyers' professional responsibility. This condensed edition covers these topics in an abbreviated format. The abridged coursebook is based on the 13th edition of Problems & Materials on Professional Responsibility, which has been the most widely-used Professional Responsibility coursebook and the leader in its field since its first edition in 1976, over 40 years ago. It is designed for 2 hour classes and for seminars in legal ethics. As the law has evolved, so has the 13th edition. Yet, some schools and professors would like to offer a shorter course than the 13th edition anticipates. This abridged edition fits the bill. The authors have carefully designed it to be familiar to long time users, and accessible to new adopters. It focuses on the major issues of law governing the practice of law and the law of judicial disqualification, while shortening the volume of material and focusing on only the most essential topics. It continues its tradition of offering the most usable and up-to-date course materials to teach legal ethics and the law governing the practice of law. Students using this book will learn what they need to pass the state bar exam on Professional Responsibility yet also be introduced to the larger topics that the 13th edition covers more thoroughly.

Many law professors aim to probe deep ethical issues in class. But they also need to cover the material that the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination requires. The Rotunda Nutshell fulfils that need as it digests the Model Rules in an engaging, analytical, and often critical way. In a surprisingly pithy manner, this book places the Rules in an historic context that lets the student understand problems with prior versions of the Rules, which led to the present version. The Nutshell also analyzes the American Law Institute's Restatement of the Law Governing Lawyers, Third. This approach frees up precious class time for important normative issues. And, this Nutshell helps your students come up with better answers to your Socratic questions than you anticipated. This book has proved so popular as an explanation of the basic principles of legal ethics that it has been translated into Japanese and used there to teach American legal ethics.

This is an accessible constitutional law book suitable for undergraduate courses. Chapters begin with explanatory info, and feature shorter cases, interactive questions throughout chapters and the historical context of founding legal principles and theories of constitutional interpretation. Both the Bill of Rights and other Constitutional Amendments are presented with through explanations and reference to historical legal issues, with a focus on the structural and institutional powers of the constitution. Volume I includes: development of judicial review; doctrine of implied powers; Congress; the Presidency; Foreign-Affairs Powers; the Commerce Clause; Taxing and Spending Powers; and the Protection of Rights Guaranteed in the Body of the Constitution.
