Uncounted: The Crisis of Voter Suppression in America

Uncounted examines the phenomenon of disenfranchisement through the lens of history, race, law, and the democratic process. Prof. Gilda R. Daniels argues that voter suppression works in cycles, constantly adapting and finding new ways to hinder access for an exponentially growing minority population. She warns that a premeditated strategy of restrictive laws and deceptive practices has taken root and is eroding the very basis of American democracy — the right to vote.

Researching the LaW: Finding What You Need When You Need IT

This book, now in its third edition, guides students through a decidedly contemporary approach to legal research. Prof. Amy E. Sloan presents legal research as a process of efficiently filtering a vast quantity of available information. Simply put, students learn how to locate and identify the most pertinent and authoritative information available with the greatest possible expedience. Her clear, concise explanations of essential research sources are presented in a context that speaks to the way lawyers do research today, with a flexible approach that works in a rapidly changing research environment.

Ethical Problems in the Practice of Law

This problem-based book, by Prof. Robert Rubinson and two co-authors, reflects the authors’ broad range of teaching, clinical and policy-making experience. Updated in a fifth edition, the book’s carefully crafted ethical problems challenge students to engage in a deep analysis and participate in lively class discussion.

What You Need to Know About Voting — and Why

Prof. Kimberly Wehle offers practical, useful advice on the mechanics of voting and an enlightening survey of its history and future. She explains primaries, the electoral college, mail-in ballots, gerrymandering and more. For everyone looking ahead to the next election, it’s a timely and informative guide, providing the necessary background to make informed choices.
