In the Name of Justice
Leading judges and legal scholars explore the state of criminal law today and offer compelling examinations of key issues, including suicide terrorism, drug legalization, and the vast reach of federal criminal liability.
The Dirty Dozen
A non-lawyer’s guide to the worst Supreme Court decisions of the modern era. This is not a book just for lawyers. It’s for all Americans who want to understand how the Supreme Court can affect our right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
The Cult of the Presidency
Examines how Americans have expanded presidential power over recent decades by expecting solutions for all national problems, and concludes by calling for the president’s role to return to its properly defined constitutional limits.
Gun Control On Trial
With exclusive behind-the-scenes access, the book delves into the monumental Heller case—where the Supreme Court ruled that individual citizens have the constitutional right to possess guns—to provide a compelling look at the inside stories of the forces that fought for and against the Second Amendment.
David's Hammer
An active judiciary is a key element in our government that ensures that limits are placed on executive and legislative action, constitutional rights are protected, and unelected bureaucrats are kept in check.
