New books, new words

ALM's Supreme court Brief has Books, Books, Books!

Before the old year rings out, reserve some new reading in 2023 about the Supreme Court. Here is a quick look at what publishers and authors are promising in the new year:

➤ ”Super Majority: The Year the Supreme Court Divided America” by Michael Waldman (Simon & Schuster)

➤ ”Vaulting Ambition: FDR’s Campaign to Pack the Supreme Court” by Michael Nelson (University Press of Kansas)

➤ “Scalia: Rise to Greatness 1936-1986″ by James Rosen (Regnery Publishing)

➤ “The Shadow Docket: How the Supreme Court Uses Stealth rulings to Amass Power and Undermine the Republic” by Stephen Vladeck (Basic Books)

➤ “Nine Black Robes: Inside the Supreme Court’s Drive to the Right and Its Historic Consequences” by Joan Biskupic

➤ “The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Supreme Court (The Politically Incorrect Guides)” by John Yoo and Robert Delahunty (Regnery Publishing)

Attorneys were busy discussing "complicit bias," arguing about "lawfare" and discussing the "great reshuffle" this past year, according to Burton's Legal Thesaurus, which released its list of 2022's top new legal terms and expressions Tuesday.
The list was compiled by the law professors and academics on the Select Committee on Terminology of Burton's Legal Thesaurus, and also includes "quiet quitting" and "meme stock," according to an announcement from the committee.
