2) The law of the land: a grand tour of our constitutional republic

President Obama says that because Republicans in Congress allowed a series of harmful, automatic budget cuts -- called the sequester -- to take effect, important programs like Head Start are now forced to reduce their services. After travelers were stuck for hours in airports and on planes this past week, members of Congress passed a temporary band-aid measure to stop the cuts that impact airlines -- but they must do more to stop cuts to vital services...

Description:

3) English common law in the early American colonies

"From Illinois to Alabama, and from Florida to Utah, our laws and legal debates arise from distinctive local settings within our vast and varied nation. As the renowned scholar Akhil Amar explains, Abraham Lincoln's argument against the legality of succession can be traced to his Midwestern upbringing, just as a close look at the Florida legislature and state Supreme Court reveals the fundamental wrongness of the Bush v. Gore decision. Amar profiles...

8) The American Constitutional Tradition: Colonial Charters, Covenants, and Revolutionary State Constitutions, 1578-1780

This book argues that, given the political power the Supreme Court enjoys today, the answer to preserving the separation of powers, democracy, and the American commitment to unalienable human rights is to encourage the Court to intentionally serve as the nation's collective conscience, just as it did in Brown v. Board of Education.

United States. Antitrust Modernization Commission

Critiques the common-law crime of breach of the peace in Scots law. Despite the number of prosecutions, and the appeal court's attempts to narrow its ambit in recent years, breach of the peace remains ill-defined in Scotland. Describing its development from the mid-19th century to the present day, Pamela Ferguson criticises the breach of the peace on several fronts. Ferguson also considers related statutory offences, such as those created by the Criminal...

"Debates about constitutional originalism and its rival, living constitutionalism, are old. Originalists insist that the meaning of the United States Constitution is fixed. The words and phrases of the constitutional text have the same meaning today as they did when the Constitution was ratified by the requisite nine states in 1788 (or when each amendment was ratified). Living constitutionalists believe that the meaning of the Constitution must adapt...

Irreverent, provocative, and engaging, Desperately Seeking Certainty attacks the current legal vogue for grand unified theories of constitutional interpretation. On both the Right and the Left, prominent legal scholars are attempting to build all of constitutional law from a single foundational idea. Dan Farber and Suzanna Sherry find that in the end no single, all-encompassing theory can successfully guide judges or provide definitive or even sensible...
