At the Federalist Society, we pride ourselves on featuring content from a wide array of the foremost experts in the legal field, and when they're not contributing to a convention, panel, teleforum, or publication, they're conducting their own hard-hitting, important research. If you're still Christmas shopping for the law and policy wonk in your family, here's a recap of some of the books that FedSoc scholars have written this year.
