Professor G. Alan Tarr, Director of the Council on State Constitutional Studies at Rutgers University, serves as series advisor for this important new series which in its entirety will cover each of the 50 states. Each volume contains a historical overview of the state's constitutional development, plus a section-by-section analysis of the state's current constitution. Other features included in the volumes are the text of the state's constitution, a bibliographic essay, table of cases, and index. Professor Tarr will write a volume that addresses the common themes and variations in state constitutional development, and a final volume will be an index to the preceding 51 volumes. This series provides essential reference tools for those investigating state constitutional development and constitutional law. "From its inception in 1990, the Reference Guides to the State Constitutions of the United States Series published by Greenwood Press has been regarded as a potentially important bibliographic monument to this revival of state constitutional law....If the series proves successful in filling such a need, as I believe it has already begun to do, it may be an integral part of the history of this political and judicial movement." Law Library Journal "Taken together, the books in the Greenwood series can--and should--facilitate comparative research.... a great starting point for comparative research on the new judicial federalism and other aspects of state constitutional politics."
