Includes a wide range of textual material, both excerpts from other writings, and wide-ranging notes written for this book. Many areas of emphasis in earlier editions have now become individual courses in many schools, such as Land Use and Regulation, Constitutional Law, and Civil Rights. While retaining important material in those areas, this casebook expands its coverage of the materials customarily allocated to Local Government Law and emphasizes areas not the focus of separate law school courses. Offers the choice in areas of emphasis which meet interest and experience without sacrificing important and necessary basic exposure.

5.0 out of 5 stars
The Best Book On The Subject!,
By Jeffrey Peter A. Hauck "Guerrilla Reader" (Pennsylvania USA) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Cases and Materials on State and Local Government Law (American Casebook Series) (Hardcover)
William Valente's (et. al) "Cases And Materials On State And Local Government Law" is a fantastic text on the subject.
For interested Law Students or the Attorney who needs to know about the subject, this book provides a very clear understanding. The text is filled with a detailed introduction and is proliferated with the landmark cases that shaped the law. Topics include: State & local finance, revenues, borrowing and debt limitations, tort liability, national powers in state and federal relations, state sovereignty, local boundaries, municipal incorporation, state constitutional limitations, preemption, etc. An example of the rich and detailed sources the text draws from is this excerpt(p.19) from the informative introduction to the subject: ". . . [T]he strength of free peoples resides in the local community. Local institutions are to liberty what primary schools are to science; they put it within the people's reach; they teach people to appreciate its peaceful enjoyment and accustom them to make use of it. Without local institutions a nation may give itself a free government, but it has not got the spirit of liberty . . ." ---Alexis de Tocqueville, "Democracy In America." Everything covering the expanse and scope from "home rule charter" to the Tenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is covered here. Great text. Five stars.

Book arrived quickly and in good condition. Pleased with my purchase, though a classmate says he bought this same text from amazon for $20 less than I paid only 2 weeks prior to when I did. Hmmmm ??
