First Amendment Law

Expert analysis and materials on the First Amendment from Lee J. Strang, Professor of Law, Univ. of Toledo College of Law.

This casebook rests on a straightforward premise: The First Amendment can be viewed as history, as policy, and as theory, but from a lawyer's perspective, it is above all law-albeit a special kind of law.

Understand better what you're learning in First Amendment or Constitutional Law class and prepare effectively for exams by applying concepts as you learn them. This study guide includes over 150 multiple-choice and short-answer questions arranged topically for ease of use during the semester, plus an additional set of questions comprising a comprehensive "practice exam".

Skills & Values: The First Amendment allows students to experience the connection between theory, doctrine, and practice in First Amendment law.

This new edition of The First Amendment: Cases, Problems and Materials continues the problem-based approach of the prior editions, with its emphasis on longer cases (so that the court can speak for itself) and fewer notes, but also includes online materials that help improve student performance.

The overarching objective of Understanding the First Amendment is to facilitate student learning efficiency and academic success.
