Product Description
This premier treatise offers a powerful exploration of the underlying polices and the doctrine of federal jurisdiction. Erwin Chemerinsky, one of the nation's leading authorities in this area of the law, clearly identifies current law and unresolved issues surrounding it and then examines the competing policy considerations, articulating varying viewpoints clearly and in evenhandedly. Federal Jurisdiction, Fifth Edition, thoroughly updated to reflect important recent developments, is designed to accompany any of the major textbooks and is frequently used as the primary course text by instructors who then supply their own case material.

This highly acclaimed text provides solid underpinnings for federal jurisdiction courses, offering:

  • comprehensive coverage, with clear descriptions of the law and issues and in-depth analyses of the doctrines and policies that determine the jurisdiction of the federal courts
  • a clear overview of current law along with unresolved issues followed by a straightforward explanation of the underlying, competing policy considerations involved
  • a balanced treatment of the material, presenting multiple viewpoints and describing for students all sides of the issues

Updated to reflect important recent developments, the Fifth Edition addresses

  • the impact of war on terrorism on federal jurisdiction issues, including restriction of federal court jurisdiction and the availability of habeas corpus for those in Guantanamo
  • new developments in justiciability, especially as to whether challenges to partisan gerrymandering are a nonjusticiable political question
  • major new cases with regard to sovereign immunity, including Congress' power to authorize suits against state governments (Nevada Department of Human Resources v. Hibbs, Tennessee v. Lane, United States v. Georgia) and the Supreme Court's holding that sovereign immunity does not apply in bankruptcy court
  • the significant new limits on the ability to use section 1983 to enforce federal statutes
  • major developments with regard to habeas corpus and the provisions of the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act
