Intelligible Constitution - The Supreme Court s Obligation to Maintain Constitution As Something

Zusatztext `I responded most favourably to the fresh air one breathes while reading the manuscript...In addition to constitutional law scholars, I think that it would appeal to those law schools who study jurisprudence, and also those whose interests are in law and humanities more generally. Outside of law schools, political scientists are a possible audience, but I think that those who study 'communications' or 'rhetoric' would be even more interested. Last of all, I think this book might well be read by that mythical beast, the common reader.' Robert Nagel, University of Colorado Informationen zum Autor Joseph Goldstein is Sterling Professor of Law at Yale University Law School, and is the author and coauthor of a number of books on the law, including The Government of a British Trade Union, Beyond the Best Interests of the Child, and Criminal Law, Theory, and Process. Klappentext Both a fascinating look at how the Court shapes its opinions and a clarion call to action, this book contributes to our understanding of how to maintain the Constitution as a living document, by and by for the people, in its third century. Zusammenfassung A lucid and accessible examination of the Constitution and the manner in which the Supreme Court has failed to communicate its opinions to the public in a comprehensible manner.
