The Jerome Hall Law Library attempts to obtain at least two copies of all books authored by the Maurer faculty, one for our general collection and one for the faculty writings collection in our Archives Room. Additionally we collect copies of books authored or edited by others, but containing chapters by Maurer faculty. This digital gallery is just a sample of some of the recent books produced by our faculty. If available, links to electronic versions of the book or chapter are included.
Arrangement is by publication year, then by the last name of the faculty member authoring the publication. Use the search box, in the upper left-hand corner, to find a specific author/title.

Hard-Nosed Advice from a Cranky Law Professor How to Succeed in Law School
Austen L. Parrish and Cristina C. Knolton
If students wish to survive and excel in law school, they must approach it correctly. Students also need to understand what professors expect of them, or they will be left behind. Hard-Nosed Advice from a Cranky Professor explains some of the correct ways to approach law school and provides insight into professor expectations.
This book is designed for new law students who would like to improve their chances of doing well in law school. Written from the perspective of a cranky, cantankerous professor, the book side-steps pleasantries to provide no-nonsense, sometimes hard-nosed advice that is intended to instruct students on what they must do to succeed. While blunt, the practical advice is provided in a light-hearted, humorous way. The book’s aim is to give concise answers to questions that most students have when they begin law school.
The book's user-friendly style is one of its greatest assets. In tight, to-the-point chapters, the book addresses those tasks that students commonly face in law school: from reading and briefing cases, to outlining, to preparing and taking exams, to being called on in class. The book also provides advice on success outside the classroom, including preparing for the bar exam. In many ways, through the professor’s grumblings, the book promotes professionalism and common sense. At the back of the book are sample case briefs and exam answers.

Constitutional Law: The Religion Clauses, 2nd edition
Daniel O. Conkle
This book provides an analytical framework for understanding and evaluating the Supreme Court’s decisions under the Religion Clauses. It contends that the Religion Clauses reflect a variety of embedded and evolving constitutional values, and it suggests how those values, alone and in combination, can help explain the complex body of judicial decisions in this area. In the course of its discussion, the text highlights all of the major facets of contemporary doctrine under both the Free Exercise and the Establishment Clauses.
Part of the Turning Point series.

Tax Controversies: Practice and Procedure, 3rd edition
Leandra Lederman and Stephen W. Mazza
This casebook teaches the mechanics of tax procedure, while stimulating students to think about the broader issues that underlie its structural framework. This edition of Tax Controversies: Practice and Procedure begins with an overview of civil tax procedure and an in-depth discussion of the federal tax gap and the many approaches to closing it. Several of the next chapters focus on stages in the chronology of a typical tax controversy, from examination through eventual litigation. In addition, two chapters focus on tax research and representing tax clients and a new chapter addresses ethics issues in tax cases. An underlying theme - the extent to which the current procedural rules encourage or discourage voluntary compliance with the federal tax system - runs throughout the book.
