The Intelligible Constitution cover

A lucid and accessible examination of the Constitution and the manner in which the Supreme Court has failed to communicate its opinions to the public in a comprehensible manner.

`I responded most favourably to the fresh air one breathes while reading the manuscript...In addition to constitutional law scholars, I think that it would appeal to those law schools who study jurisprudence, and also those whose interests are in law and humanities more generally. Outside of law schools, political scientists are a possible audience, but I think that those who study 'communications' or 'rhetoric' would be even more interested. Last of all, I think this book might well be read by that mythical beast, the common reader.' Robert Nagel, University of Colorado
