ADVERTISEMENTS

Here are ten of my favorite books from the Legal Theory Bookworm in 2009, in alphabetical order by author:

The Will of the People: How Public Opinion Has Influenced the Supreme Court and Shaped the Meaning of the Constitution by Barry Friedman

The Lost History of the Ninth Amendment by Kurt T Lash
Social Conventions: From Language to Law by Andrei Marmor
Causation and Responsibility by Michael S. Moore
Violence and Social Orders: A Conceptual Framework for Interpreting Recorded Human History by Douglass C. North, John Joseph Wallis, & Barry R. Weingast
The Law Market by Erin O'Hara & Larry E. Ribstein
Between Authority and Interpretation: On the Theory of Law and Practical Reason by Joseph Raz
Force and Freedom: Kant's Legal and Political Philosophy by Arthur Ripstein
The Idea of Justice by Professor Amartya Sen
Beyond the Formalist-Realist Divide: The Role of Politics in Judging by Brian Z. Tamanaha

And a reminder that last year's list included Law and the Limits of Reason by Adrian Vermeule, which was actually a Legal Theory Bookworm post from this year.
