About this title

Review

"The author does an excellent job of interweaving explanation with case excerpts. Many texts in this area focus the case excerpts at the end of each chapter with the authorsa discussion of the subject matter taking up the bulk of the chapter. Ducat has mastered the fine art of knowing when explanation is necessary and when the cases speak for themselves."

This seventh edition adds new material on gender discrimination, and complete coverage of constitutional developments arising out of the scandals of the Clinton presidency
