Part I of this Essay focuses on our approach to teaching the constitutional canon. This part is adapted from the Preface to our constitutional law casebook. Part II traces the evolution of our casebook from the First Edition to the Fourth Edition, and the forthcoming Fifth Edition.

Part III addresses how we, and other like-minded law professors, managed to teach decisions that we fundamentally disagreed with. This abstract has been taken from the authors' introduction.
