In May It Please the Court, artist Xavier Cortada portrays ten significant decisions by the Supreme Court of the United States that originated from people, places, and events in Florida. These cases cover the rights of criminal defendants, the rights of free speech and free exercise of religion, and the powers of states. In Painting Constitutional Law, scholars of constitutional law analyse the paintings and cases, describing the law surrounding the cases and discussing how Cortada captures these foundational decisions, their people, and their events on canvas. This book explores new connections between contemporary art and constitutional law. Contributors are: Renée Ater, Mary Sue Backus, Kathleen A. Brady, Jenny E. Carroll, Erwin Chemerinsky, Xavier Cortada, Andrew Guthrie Ferguson, Leslie Kendrick, Corinna Barrett Lain, Paul Marcus, Linda C. McClain, M.C. Mirow, James E. Pfander, Laura S. Underkuffler, and Howard M. Wasserman.

"This delightful and imaginative book of essays will alter the way in which one writes about cases and constitutional rights. The book should inspire future collaborations among artists, legal scholars, courts, and local communities. It deserves to be widely read. [...] Painting Constitutional Law liberates us to reimagine our own engagement with constitutional cases and doctrines, forcing us to see and confront the cases as emotions, colors, and shapes and to recognize their inherent disruption. May this book be the first of a new genre". Mary Sarah Bilder, Glossae, European Journal of Legal History 18 (2021).
