New on the shelves – April 2015

psychology-of-law-coverOur list of new books is now updated.

In April, the Law Library received books on women and the law, human rights, intellectual property, and EU legal issues, among many other topics.

One of our new books is The Psychology of Law: Human Behavior, Legal Institutions, and Law, an American Psychological Association title by Professors Bruce D. Sales and Daniel A. Krauss. From the publisher’s abstract:

“[T]he authors present a roadmap for how criminal justice and forensic researchers can use research to describe, explain, predict, and provide solutions for legal situations that can have a real impact on judges, juries, and the legal profession at large.”

Check it out upstairs in the Reading Room at KF 385 .S25 2015.

Interested in this area? You can also check out books on campus by UCI Professor Elizabeth Loftus—a leading expert on human memory and eyewitness testimony—by searching the catalog for author: Loftus, Elizabeth.

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.
