Resource Description

Civil Liberties Litigation: Cases and Materials addresses the layers of procedural and substantive doctrines that are triggered when a citizen files a civil action seeking to recover damages or equitable relief for deprivation of a right secured by the United States Constitution.

The online book links to valuable supplemental materials that would be prohibitive to include in a hard copy text. The electronic casebook includes links to the audio and transcript of oral arguments before the United States Supreme Court in each principal case; the full text of cases, law review articles, statutes, and government documents excerpted in the notes following the principal cases; to videos of the Freedom Riders’ attempts to desegregate the Jackson, Mississippi Bus Terminal that gave birth to the doctrines of absolute and qualified immunity; and to newspaper articles humanizing the parties involved in the litigation underlying the courts’ opinions.

Resource Description

This open-source ebook was created to be used by anyone teaching Entrepreneurship or Startup Law. Professor Prince teaches Penn State Dickinson Law’s Entrepreneurship Law: Company Creation course and used this book in conjunction with skills-based exercises. Due to the independent, practical, and experiential nature of this course, the book is deliberately designed to ignite thought and require additional student research on each topic. As such, each unit does not provide complete coverage of each topic but rather provides material needed to serve as guidance and skill-building.
