If you enjoy conversing about criminal law…

be sure to get yourself a copy of this new publication from Oxford University Press, Criminal Law Conversations.  This book, to which I contributed a chapter and some additional commentary, was put together skillfully by Professors Paul Robinson, Stephen Garvey, and Kimberly Ferzan.  Here is the publisher’s description of the effort:

Criminal Law Conversations provides an authoritative overview of contemporary criminal law debates in the United States.  This collection of high caliber scholarly papers was assembled using an innovative and interactive method of nominations and commentary by the nation’s top legal scholars.  Virtually every leading scholar in the field has participated, resulting in a volume of interest to those both in and outside of the community.  Criminal Law Conversations showcases the most captivating of these essays, and provides insight into the most fundamental and provocative questions of modern criminal law.
