Judicial decisions never occur in a vacuum u they are influenced by a myriad of political factors. From lawyers and interest groups, to the shifting sentiments of public opinion, to the ideological and behavioral inclinations of the justices, Epstein and Walker show how all these dynamics play an integral part in the overall development of constitutional doctrine. Drawing deeply from the spheres of political science and legal studies, the exceperted case material is skillfully analyzed and presented for todayAes students. Known for fastidious revising and streamlining, the authors account for the latest scholarship in the field and offer rock-solid analysis of recent landmark cases, including as all the important opinions handed down through 2011. Building on the successes of the 7th edition, the bookAes clean layout and design clearly distinguishes between commentary and opinion excerpts. Not only does the design make the book an easier read for students, it effectively showcases photos, justice biographies, and the oAftermatho and oGlobal Perspectiveo sidebars. And based on positive user feedback, the authors have added even more Aftermath boxes in this new edition. New cases in the 8th edition: Hosanna-Tabor Evangelical Lutheran Church and School v. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (2012) Snyder v. Phelps (2011) Brown v. Entertainment Merchants Association (2011) United States v. Jones (2012) Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission

The kindle version suffers the same weakness others do, it uses locations instead of page numbers. In college, the teachers give you "page numbers" to read. Even the books contents show where information is using "page numbers." This has made it very difficult for me to use this book in my class.

I loved learning about the Supreme Court using this book. The material was simple to understand, thought provoking, and offered multiple resources to obtain better understandings of case rulings. Instead of selling back after the term, I have kept this book as a reference.

The ebook version is essentially garbage, as it lists location numbers instead of page numbers. Location numbers in academia are useless, rendering the ebook version of this book also useless, and thus a waste of money. If the authors, and / or have any inkling of integrity, they would offer an update to fix this. Somehow I doubt this would happen.

Needed this for college course work and found it very informative a good buy for any college student in justice studies.

Did not expect so much damage. I feel like I should have gotten a better discount for what I got. At least it was readable still think I paid too much for the item I got.

This book is one I will keep forever. If you want to know how the Constitutional Law came into effect and how you are protected get this book.

I like this book. The cases are condensed for our "reading pleasure", very straight forward and easy to understand

Ordered it and on the earliest day it could get here it did. And it didn't come in a giant box for being such a large book.
