Professor Charles “Rocky” Rhodes and his co-author, Professor Renee Knake Jefferson, have published a new constitutional law book, “Constitutional Law: Foundations, Interpretations, and Commentaries,” through West Academic. Rhodes’ text melds the story of constitutional historical development with modern resulting doctrine by interspersing foundations chapters throughout the book detailing the development of constitutional law across typical doctrinal categories before thoroughly studying the resulting modern doctrine in detail.
The book incorporates author commentaries and frameworks that introduce carefully selected and edited Supreme Court cases and explanatory materials. The book includes all the topics typically covered in constitutional law required courses and electives, including judicial review, justiciability, federalism, separation of powers, and rights and liberties under the First, Second, Fifth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments. “Constitutional Law: Foundations, Interpretations, and Commentaries” can be ordered here.
