Courts Law Books


1.		The Nine: Inside the Secret World of the Supreme Court from Anchor Price: $10.85 Customer Review: i sent the book to a friend who is in prison and he received it promptly and is enjoyin it very much.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		Making Your Case: The Art of Persuading Judges from Thomson West Price: $29.95 Customer Review: Bought this book for my son who is an attorney. I admire Judge Scalia and hopefully my son will find this book informative.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


3.		How Judges Think from Harvard University Press Price: $19.77 Customer Review: I would agree with many of the reviewers that this is Posner at his finest. Although I tend to be skeptical of his articulation of pragmatism (especially via his selective use of economic theory), I found that this book really destroys the false binary that posits a clear split between activist and... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.		You Be the Judge: 20 True Crimes and Cases to Solve from Sphinx Publishing Price: $10.87	Click here for more information


5.		The Dirty Dozen: How Twelve Supreme Court Cases Radically Expanded Government and Eroded Freedom from Sentinel HC Price: $17.13 Customer Review: Only a libertarian, or the authors' mothers, will truly agree with all 12 of the Supreme court cases featured in "Dirty Dozen." So what. It is thoroughly fun to read. As stated early on in the book, the authors picked the 12 worst cases decided since the New Deal, the period they define as the... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


6.		The Brethren: Inside the Supreme Court from Simon & Schuster Price: $12.21 Customer Review: I have become interested lately in the various opinions handed down by the Supreme Court in the Guantanamo habeas corpus cases. I was particularly surprised by the vehemence of the dissenting opinions expressed. This lead me to this book, to find out more. Published in 1979, it documents the... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


7.		Disorder in the Court: Great Fractured Moments in Courtroom History from W. W. Norton & Company Price: $11.16 Customer Review: I kept getting emails about funny anecdotes about things that happened in court attributed to "disorder in the court". This can't be the same book. There was nothing funny in it.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.		The Supreme Court: The Personalities and Rivalries That Defined America from Tantor Media Price: $51.09 Customer Review: I found this account of the Supreme Court far less engaging than "The Nine". Rosen's main point - that judicial temperament determines success on the court, in the sense that justices who work well with others have more influence - hardly qualifies as an earth-shattering insight. But it causes him... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


9.		A Matter of Interpretation: Federal Courts and the Law (The University Center for Human Values Series) from Princeton University Press Price: $13.57 Customer Review: Frankly, I was disappointed in the depth of insight and reflection offered in this book. This little volume is essentially a recapitulation of a narrow and shallow view of Constitutional Law and exegesis of the US Constitution that lacks a unifying logic or point of view that underlies it. And, I... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


10.		The Supreme Court from Vintage Price: $10.85 Customer Review: Chief Justice Rehnquist is a great historian who focuses his history of the Supreme Court on the cases it has decided. He takes the reader down the path of US history by telling the story fo the Court. He ends the book with a brief few chapters on how the Court operates today, which is... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


11.		Beat Your Ticket: Go to Court & Win (5th edition) from NOLO Price: $14.95 Customer Review: Traffic citations, especially seatbelt citations are almost always about power and money. If it were about safety, they would put more focus on straightening out all the dangerous curves, force property owners to cut back brush, obstacles, and hinderances that causes unseen intersections. They could... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


12.		Represent Yourself in Court: How to Prepare & Try a Winning Case from NOLO Price: $26.39 Customer Review: I recommend this book to anyone with any kind of suit to file in court...and especially if you hire a lawyer. This way, you can stay up to speed on the process of what is going on, and what your lawyer should be doing. The book goes into enough detail to explain the important things, but not so much... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


13.		A People's History of the Supreme Court from Penguin (Non-Classics) Customer Review: Peter Irons is an ardent patriot. He believes passionately in the founding promises of America as expressed in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, especially the Bill of Rights: "all men are created equal" - "life liberty and the pursuit of happiness" for all people - "justice for... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


14.		Federal Jurisdiction, Fifth Edition (Aspen Treatise) from Aspen Publishers, Inc. Price: $54.00 Customer Review: This is quite simply the best study aid I've ever encountered for any class at law school. It takes what can be an extremely dry topic (Fed Courts and/or Fed Jurisdiction) and actually makes it an enjoyable read! My casebook did a very poor job of making a comprehensive storyline out of the... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


15.		Disorderly Conduct: Excerpts from Actual Cases from W. W. Norton & Company Price: $9.56 Customer Review: I really enjoyed this, as well as the first, book of actual legal transcript excerpts. I only wish the book was larger, with more of the delightfully scary expressions of judges, counsel, and witnesses! Three stars are awarded for the price v. amount of laughs.	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


16.		Courtroom 302: A Year Behind the Scenes in an American Criminal Courthouse from Vintage Price: $10.85 Customer Review: Steve Bogira offers a stark look at the American legal system. By tracking cases in a single courtroom over the course of a year, the author makes it clear that the problems he uncovers are systemic and long-term, not a few exceptional cases or worst-case-scenarios. The racism of our laws and... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


17.		Justice for All: Earl Warren and the Nation He Made from Riverhead Trade Price: $12.21 Customer Review: This book brought back a lot of memories for me - Warren as our Attorney General who sent the Japanese to the camps in 1942, as our Governor for 11 years, a good governor, a decent man, well respected, pretty much middle of the road with good appointments, my old friend Bill Sweigert being one of... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


18.		The Betrayal of America: How the Supreme Court Undermined the Constitution and Chose Our President from Nation Books Price: $9.95 Customer Review: What happened in 2000 was, in my humble opinion, a cause for civil disobedience on a national scale. Riots, demonstrations, surrounding buildings and keeping the occupants inside until they came to their senses, even more. Had we the bravery that, say, Lithuanians had in 1990, or that lone figure in... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


19.		America's Courts and the Criminal Justice System from Wadsworth Publishing Price: $106.36 Customer Review: The book I recieved is in very good shape, however it is not the book I wanted. There was no picture, and I assumed, since it said "new" that it was the newest edition. I recieved the 8th edition of the boook instead of the 9th, which is the one i needed.	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


20.		Indefensible: One Lawyer's Journey into the Inferno of American Justice from Little, Brown and Company Price: $16.47 Customer Review: On television we see how the concepts of criminal process where justice is dispensed in 60 minutes, in reality, it's the real thing. Indefensible takes the readers inside the criminal process from the stand point of a public defender in the South Bronx who believes in the truth which isn't pretty... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information
