Revised and now in its 16th edition, Essential Supreme Court Decisions: Summaries of Leading Cases in U.S. Constitutional Law is the most up-to-date and historically thorough guide to the American Supreme Court's most monumental rulings available today. The Supreme Court grapples every day with issues fundamental to our democracy - from religious expression to freedom of speech to cruel and unusual punishment rulings. Terrorism, profiling, same-sex marriage, police stop-and-search statutes, voting rights and our personal right to privacy, and recent landmark rulings regarding all of these issues are analyzed in this edition, showing us the modern iterations of debates that have raged in some shape or form in America throughout its history.

Reviews
The longevity of Professor Vile's book attests to both its quality and utility. It is an excellent compilation organized in a uniquely valuable manner. Succinctly summarizing each of the seminal cases in terms of the facts, question, decision and reasoning is very useful as both a teaching tool and for quick reference. It is easy to understand its popularity.
