{"product_id":"embattled-constitution","title":"Embattled Constitution","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"An indispensable and provocative guide through the thicket of today's most challenging constitutional controversies by some of the most eminent judges of their time. It offers an invaluable peek behind the curtain of judicial decision making.\"\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n—David Cole, Professor of Law, Georgetown University \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Embattled\u003cbr\u003e\nConstitution presents the\u003cbr\u003e\nfourth collection of the James Madison lectures delivered at the NYU School of\u003cbr\u003e\nLaw, offering thoughtful examinations of an array of topics on civil liberties\u003cbr\u003e\nby a distinguished group of federal judges, including Justice Stephen Breyer of\u003cbr\u003e\nthe U.S. Supreme Court. The result is a fascinating look into the minds of the\u003cbr\u003e\njudges who interpret, apply, and give meaning to our “embattled Constitution.”\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn these insightful\u003cbr\u003e\nand incisive essays, the authors bring to bear decades of experience to explore\u003cbr\u003e\nwide-ranging issues. Are today’s public schools racially segregated? To what\u003cbr\u003e\nextent can the federal courts apply the Bill of Rights without legislative\u003cbr\u003e\nguidance? And what are the criteria for the highest standards of judging and constitutional\u003cbr\u003e\ninterpretation? The authors also discuss how and why the Constitution came to\u003cbr\u003e\nbe embattled, shining a spotlight on the current polarization in both the\u003cbr\u003e\nSupreme Court and the American body politic and offering careful and informed\u003cbr\u003e\nanalysis of how to bridge these divides.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nContributors include\u003cbr\u003e\nMarsha S. Berzon, Michael Boudin, Stephen Breyer, Guido Calabresi, Robert H.\u003cbr\u003e\nHenry, Robert Katzmann, Pierre N. Leval, M. Blane Michael, Davis S.
