This was the first casebook devoted exclusively to American legal and constitutional history, giving students not only an understanding of the development of law, but also a broader understanding of American history generally. It literally helped create the field of American legal history. Subsequent editions have included more materials on race, criminal and family law, as well as the best writing in this increasingly important area of legal studies. In recent years, the Supreme Court, its admirers and critics are increasingly turning to legal history as a means of evaluating current doctrine. This casebook is an indispensable tool in that endeavor.

Legal History

West Academic Publishing

This edition continues to bridge the gap between lawyers’ understanding of the perspective of managers and vice-versa. It continues to meet the needs of both law students and management students. This new edition incorporates additional material on the personalities involved in and the political and social issues raised by the cases studied, and now includes two anti-takeover cases (involving Time magazine and Paramount studios). In an era of re-examination of the basic assumptions of business regulation, this text is a good introduction to the field.

Business

A history of the early federal courts in Pennsylvania and Virginia, focusing on Supreme Court Justice Samuel Chase.

Carolina Academic Press

The new edition of The American Constitutional Order is designed for a four- to six-semester-hour course on Constitutional Law covering both the structural features of the Constitution as well as individual rights. This book includes ample historical materials, lengthy explanatory notes, both introducing and following cases, and employs exemplar or principal cases rather than merely cumulating redundant examples. The American Constitutional Order is a book with an explicit point of view. In the colloquial, a book with an attitude--namely, that history counts, and that within this American story is a premise of the protection of fundamental natural rights. The authors do not expect every instructor to share their perspective, but they do make this honest pedagogical point: all books have a point of view. Staking out territory in favor of the aspiration of the rule of law and American historical antecedents in fresh ways, this book stimulates thinking and classroom instruction--whether an instructor wishes to travel with, or teach against, the authors' premises.

There is no nation in which the teachers of law play a more prominent role than in the United States. In this unique volume Stephen Presser, a law professor for four decades, explains how his colleagues have both furthered and frustrated the American ideals that ours is a government of laws not men, and that our legal system ought to promote justice for all. In a dazzling review of three centuries of teaching about American law, from Blackstone to Barack Obama, Presser shows how these extraordinary men and women shaped not only our law, but also our politics and culture. “The natural audience for this book is academics, members of the bar and law students. For these last in particular, it may become essential reading. Law professors like putting their students through the hoops by asking them bewildering questions; Mr Presser’s book does a good job of distilling what is actually being taught. . . . America is consumed by serious legal debates about issues, what the law says, what people think the law should say―and whether that is law. This may be the book that comes closest to spelling out what is really being argued. . . .” Read full review at The Economist, Books and Arts, February 2, 2017 “Even more improbable is how a book about three centuries of law professors could be enjoyable. Yet it is. Every rising law student in the United States should read it as a primer; experienced legal educators should consult it to refresh their memory about the history and purpose of their profession.” Read full review at The University Bookman, Winter 2017 “Law Professors is an exceptionally fine book – written in a sprightly style, well-illustrated and containing (as befits a scholarly tome) a detailed index. Displaying an easy but encyclopedic mastery of legal history, Presser covers American law from its English common law roots to the present . . . . Throughout, Presser demonstrates impressive erudition and fair-mindedness, analyzing the evolution of American law and legal education since colonial times. . . . Presser dispenses with the jargon and pretense so typical of law review articles, explaining with elegant simplicity such concepts as natural law, common law, civil law, formalism, legal realism, “critical legal studies,” “law and economics,” originalism, and critical race theory. . . . unique, highly readable, and informative. . . ."
