Constitutional Law offers a contemporary take on constitutional law, including its core principles, cases and doctrines. Flexible in design, the text can be used in a study of governmental powers, civil liberties or both. By examining real cases and contemporary legal scenarios, Authors Daniel Hall and John Feldmeier make constitutional law relevant rather than theoretical.

The 4th Edition includes new cases and rulings addressing civil liberties and criminal procedure, including landmark SCOTUS rulings on Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization; New York State Rifle and Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen; and Kennedy v. Bremerton School District. The new edition also adds analysis of constitutional issues raised by state and federal responses to the COVID-19 pandemic.
