The Interplay Between Competition Law and Intellectual Property: An International Perspective
Edited by Gabriella Muscolo and Marina Tavassi with chapter by Michael Carrier
Although competition law and intellectual property are often interwoven, there has been little guidance on how they work together in practice until this book. As the intersection between the two fields continues to grow worldwide, both in case law and in regulation, the book’s  focus on sectors such as pharmaceuticals, IT, telecoms, energy and agriculture in eleven of the world’s most active jurisdictions provides a much-needed in-depth understanding of how this interplay reveals itself among the different legal systems. The "U.S. Intellectual Property and Competition Law" chapter is by Professor Michael Carrier.

Edited by James Langenfeld and Edwin Galeano with chapter by Michael Carrier and Steven D. Shadowen

The Cambridge Handbook of Social Enterprise Law
Edited by Benjamin Means and Joseph W. Yockey with chapter by Sarah Dadush
Growing numbers of employees, consumers, and investors want companies to be truly good; these stakeholders will accept lower economic returns in order to support companies that prioritize sustainability, fair wages, and fair trade. Unlike charities or non-profits, such companies or social enterprises are not only permitted but also expected to produce an economic return for investors. Yet, unlike traditional business ventures, social enterprises have no obligation to maximize profits, even on a long-term basis. This book takes stock of the field and charts a course for its future development. It should be read by entrepreneurs, investors, practitioners, academics, students and anyone else interested in how companies are evolving to address new demands for capitalism with a conscience. The "A New Blueprint for Regulating Social Enterprises" chapter is by Professor Sarah Dadush.

The contested meanings of the secular state and religious neutrality are revisited from different perspectives and the reality of the international human rights protections for religious freedom are analyzed. The "Establishment and Encounter" chapter is by Professor Perry Dane.

Edited by William A. Birdthistle and John Morley with chapter by Arthur Laby

Democracy by the People: Reforming Campaign Finance in America
Edited by Eugene D. Mazo and Timothy K. Kuhner
Thanks to a series of recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions, corporations can now spend unlimited sums to influence elections, Super PACs and dark money groups are flourishing, and wealthy individuals and special interests increasingly dominate American politics.

With contributions from more than a dozen leading scholars of election law, it should be read by anyone interested in reclaiming the promise of American democracy.

Your Client’s Story: Persuasive Legal Writing, Second Edition
By Ruth Anne Robbins, Ken Chestek, and Steve Johansen
Unlike most document-centric first-year legal writing texts, Your Client’s Story: Persuasive Legal Writing centers on the client, with a focus on ways to persuade the reader to grant the relief each client seeks. Organized to reflect the process, the text begins with meeting the client, moves to investigating the facts, and then provides guidance on analyzing and choosing the appropriate persuasive strategy. The material is rooted in concepts of brain science and cognitive psychology—and in an easy-to-read, conversational style shows how classical rhetoric and modern persuasion theory provide the foundation for memorable legal writing. By focusing on the process of persuasion, the book creates strong connections between the first year objectives and the upper-level skills and clinic courses. Editable versions of the sample briefs appear in the appendices so that professors can tailor to individual needs.

The book covers the full range of topics, including in-depth treatment of personal and subject-matter jurisdiction, joinder, preclusion, and alternative dispute resolution. Accessible background material for each major case facilitates analysis, and extensive notes and questions frame deep, conceptual issues. The text keys in on leading and high-interest cases, edited for best effect. Its flexible organization supports myriad approaches to the 1L Procedure class, from a three-unit one-semester class to a five- or six-unit class taught over either a semester or a year.

The Mechanics of Claims and Permissible Killing in War
By Alec Walen
In The Mechanics of Claims and Permissible Killing in War, Walen develops an alternative account of rights according to which rights forfeiture has a much smaller role to play. It plays a smaller role because rights themselves are more contextually contingent. They systematically reflect the different kinds of claims people can make on an agent. For example, those who threaten to cause harm without a right to do so have weaker claims not to be killed than innocent bystanders or those who have a right to threaten to cause harm. By framing rights as the output of a balance of competing claims, and by laying out a detailed account of how to balance competing claims, Walen provides a more coherent account of when killing in war is permissible.

Wills, Trusts, and Estates – The Essentials
By Reid Kress Weisbord, David Horton, and Stephen K. Urice
Wills, Trusts, and Estates: The Essentials provides a unique platform for teaching Trusts and Estates as an accessible, engaging area of the law. As its title implies, Essentials covers only the core legal doctrines and does so in a concise, straightforward format that focuses on practical application rather than theory. The organizational structure of each chapter facilitates student learning by providing: (1) a clear explanation of the doctrine in plain English, (2) an excerpt of relevant statutory authority where applicable, (3) an illustration of the doctrine through a carefully-selected judicial opinion, and (4) an application of the doctrine in a problem set. Each judicial opinion is followed by a series of questions, as well as narrative answers to each question. The problem sets, which are heavily emphasized, simulate the practice of law in a realistic T&E setting.
