It offers an invaluable peek behind the curtain of judicial decision making." —David Cole, Professor of Law, Georgetown University The EmbattledConstitution presents thefourth collection of the James Madison lectures delivered at the NYU School ofLaw, offering thoughtful examinations of an array of topics on civil libertiesby a distinguished group of federal judges, including Justice Stephen Breyer ofthe U.S. Supreme Court. The result is a fascinating look into the minds of thejudges who interpret, apply, and give meaning to our “embattled Constitution.” In these insightfuland incisive essays, the authors bring to bear decades of experience to explorewide-ranging issues.
