CALI is excited to introduce a new eLangdell Press casebook, Constitutional Law with a Twist: Less Is More, designed specifically for a one-semester survey course on federal constitutional law. This thoughtfully crafted text covers the structure of the U.S. government and individual rights—excluding First Amendment rights and rights unique to criminal law—while embracing a “less is more” philosophy that prioritizes less reading, more emphasis on contemporary cases, and more feedback on interim work.
This peer-reviewed casebook offers a streamlined yet rigorous approach that many faculty may find refreshing for today’s students. It includes supporting materials such as a sample syllabus and sample daily quizzes, along with a full teacher’s manual, to facilitate effective course planning.
eLangdell Press publishes all casebooks under a Creative Commons (CC BY-NC-SA) license, making them free to adopt and free to modify to fit your teaching style and course design. To ensure maximum flexibility, the book is available in Word, PDF, and eBook formats—at no cost.
We invite you to download a complimentary review copy and explore whether this casebook is a good fit for your classroom. Your feedback and consideration for course adoption are greatly appreciated.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss how this resource might work in your curriculum, feel free to reach out by emailing us at feedback@cali.org.
