Unwarranted: Policing Without Permission by Barry Friedman
“At a time when policing in America is at a crossroads, Barry Friedman provides much-needed insight, analysis, and direction in his thoughtful new book. Unwarranted illuminates many of the often ignored issues surrounding how we police in America and highlights why reform is so urgently needed. This revealing book comes at a critically important time and has much to offer all who care about fair treatment and public safety.”

The Right of Publicity: Privacy Reimagined for a Public World by Jennifer E. Rothman
“In an age of drones flying over our backyards recording images, people live streaming from smartphones what they are doing and where they are, online businesses collecting and selling our data, and widespread sharing of our photos, experiences, and thoughts online, there is little that remains unspoken, secret, or truly private. This has led some to conclude that privacy is dead. But privacy lives on—in part through the “right of publicity.”
51 Imperfect Solutions: States and the Making of American Constitutional Law by Jeffrey Sutton
In his new book, 51 Imperfect Solutions, Judge Sutton argues that American Constitutional Law should account for the role of the state courts and state constitutions, together with the federal courts and the federal constitution, in protecting individual liberties.
