註釋Judicial decisions never occur in a vacuum - 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 today′s 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 book′s 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 "Aftermath" and "Global Perspective" 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
