Closing the Courthouse Door

"Closing the Courthouse Door" by Erwin Chemerinsky explores how recent Supreme Court decisions have restricted individuals' access to courts for defending their constitutional rights. The book highlights the impact of these rulings, which have limited standing, immunity, and case types, ultimately reducing citizens' ability to seek legal recourse. Through various stories, Chemerinsky advocates for a judicial system where protecting constitutional rights remains a primary focus, arguing against barriers that prevent courts from addressing constitutional questions.
