This volume of "Studies in Law, Politics, and Society" presents a unique special issue "Constitutional Politics in a Conservative Era". This issue brings together the work of leading scholars of Constitutionalism, Constitutional law, and politics in the United States to take stockof the fieldto chart its progress, and point the way for its future development. Much of the way Americans havethought about Constitutionallaw has, until recently, been dominated by models developed during theWarren Court Era. Today, however, scholars seek new approaches, approaches that do not take for granted liberal hegemony in the courts. Amongthese, theories of popular constitutionalism and judicial minimalism appear to be increasingly popular. How should Scholars think about American courts in an era of conservative domination of the judiciary? What should/will constitutional politics in the United States look like overthe next decade?
