California’s independent constitution

December 17, 2014

The Fall/Winter 2014 newsletter of the California Supreme Court Historical Society (I serve on the Society’s board) is available online.  It includes two articles about the California constitution from authoritative sources.

Chief Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye writes about “The Truly Independent Nature of the California Constitution.”  And former Justice Joseph Grodin’s article is entitled, “The California State Constitution And Its Independent Declaration of Rights.”  Both pieces are adapted from the forthcoming second edition of The California State Constitution (Oxford University Press, 2014), which Grodin co-authors.
