This dynamic new youth-focused exploration of criminal justice combines thoughtful commentary with selections from actual federal and state constitutional criminal law cases. The book addresses tough, important issues that are part of many high school curriculums and directly affect today's young people. This is an essential new resource for students and teachers at the high school or undergraduate level, as well as public or subject-specific libraries that offer information on criminal justice.
Jamin B. Raskin is professor of constitutional law and the First Amendment at American University Washington College of Law and founder of its Marshall-Brennan Fellows Program, which places law students in public high schools to teach the We the Students constitutional literacy course. A former assistant attorney general for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Raskin is an active public interest lawyer, defending the rights of political expression and participation for both adults and young people. He is also the author of Overruling Democracy (2003) and dozens of law review articles, op-eds, and essays on constitutional law.
