U.S. Supreme Court Decisions. A Case Study Review for U.S. History and Government. A Student and Teacher Guide.
Moskowitz, Douglas, Ed.; Scurti, Jason, Ed.
This constitutional casebook is the outcome of the P.A.T.C.H. Law Program of the Northport-East Northport Union Free School District in New York. The casebook provides students and teachers in grades 7, 8, 11, and 12 with a summary review of the 22 cases mentioned in the New York State Regents' 11th grade "U.S. History and Government" syllabus and an additional 29 cases that support a better understanding of U.S. hisotry and government. Summary charts outline the syllabus and include the constitutional cases mentioned in it as well as additional cases that enrich students' knowledge. Among the cases reviewed are landmark decisions such as Marbury v. Madison, McCulloch v. Maryland, Dred Scott v. Sanford, Plessy v. Ferguson, Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Mapp v. Ohio, and Gideon v. Wainwright. For each case, the casebook lists the citation number, the judicial concepts involved, the facts of the case, the legal issues, and the court's opinion. The appendices include a pre- and post-test, a glossary of constitutional terms, and the U.S. Constitution. (JD)
