New on the shelves – November 2015

dissentCoverOur list of new books is now updated. Last month, the Law Library received books on a variety of topics, including several casebooks that’ll be on course reserve for Spring classes.

One of our new titles was reviewed in the New York Times by Supreme Court expert Dahlia Lithwick:

“[L]egal historian Melvin I. Urofsky’s ambitious new look at the role of dissents throughout our constitutional history offers some useful tools for making sense of the Roberts court’s recent predilection for personal, non sequitur and ad hominem dissents.”

“Urofsky is riveting when detailing the arguments and rhetorical workings of the nation’s great dissenters….”

Ambitious! Riveting! That’s quite an endorsement. Check it out upstairs in the Reading Room at KF 8748 .U76 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.
