New on the shelves – March 2015

coverOur list of new books is now updated.

In March, the Law Library received books on criminal law, international law, federalism, and legal careers, among many other topics.

One of our new books is Happiness & the Law, a University of Chicago Press title by Professors John Bronsteen, Christopher Buccafusco, and Jonathan S. Masur. From the publisher’s abstract:

“Drawing on new research in psychology, neuroscience, and economics, the authors. . . assess how the law affects people’s quality of life—and how it can do so in a better way. Taking readers through some of the common questions about and objections to the use of happiness research in law and policy, they consider two areas in depth: criminal punishment and civil lawsuits.”

Check it out downstairs in the Stacks at K 380 .B765 2015.

The Law Library’s collection is constantly growing as we purchase books and other resources to support the scholarly and clinical work of faculty and students. Please let us know if you have a suggestion for a new book.
