Summary:

Relied on by students, professors, and practitioners, Erwin
Chemerinsky's popular treatise, Constitutional Law: Principles and
Policies, Fourth Edition, clearly states the law and identifies the
underlying policy issues in each area of constitutional law. The
characteristics that make this treatise so highly valued include:
Thorough coverage of all areas of constitutional law, suitable for
both beginning and advanced courses. Issues are presented clearly and
with a neutral approach that examines all sides in constitutional law
issues. Discussion not only of doctrines but of the underlying policy
issues of the law. Flexible organization: the chapters can be used
separately in any order. Updated throughout, the Fourth Edition:
