Law Clerks and the Judicial Process
This is the first in-depth empirical and historical study of the use of law clerks by American judges. Although possessing a hundred-year heritage, the institution has been ignored as an important component of the process of judicial decision-making. Law clerks are, in the authors' words, "subordinate, anonymous, but often quite powerful lawyers who function as the non-commissioned officers in the army of the judiciary."

American Civil Procedure
This convenient description of civil procedure in the federal and state courts of the United States will be greatly welcomed by lawyers and legal scholars everywhere. Without going into deep analysis, the book covers every important feature of these legal systems, drawing on the expertise and experience of two well-versed practitioners. As well as the rules, policies, normative principles, and future trends, the authors cite recent cases affecting procedure. Areas covered include sources, judicial organization, exercise of the legal profession, jurisdiction, due process standards, rules of evidence, enforcement of judgements, arbitration, and much more.

Richard Posner reflects on the causes and consequences of this widening gap and what can be done to close it.
The Federal Courts
Drawing on economic and political theory, legal analysis, and his own extensive judicial experience, Posner sketches the history of the federal courts, describes the contemporary institution, appraises concerns that have been expressed with their performance, and presents a variety of proposals for both short-term and fundamental reform.
The Lillibridges of the World
Thomas Lillibridge (ca. 1662-1724) was born in England, and was living at Newport, Rhode Island, by 1699. He married twice and was the father of at least eleven children.

His descendants, and those of his nephew, John Lillibridge (ca. 1705-ca. 1768), son of Thomas' brother, Edward Lillibridge, lived in Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, Iowa, and elsewhere.

God and Man in the Law
In a wide-ranging study based on legal history, political theory, and philosophical ideas going all the way back to Plato and Roman law, Robert Clinton challenges current faith in an activist judiciary. Claiming that a human-centered Constitution leads to government by reductive moral theory and illegitimate judicial review, he advocates a return to traditional jurisprudence and a God-centered Constitution grounded in English common law and its precedents.
