I already know this is going to be good!
My book is out today. It examines how legal training shapes issues that impact all of us (e.g., policing, work, healthcare, the environment). It’s written for a broad audience—nonlawyers, law students, and professors alike. I think it can move some urgent conversations forward.

For 342 years, New York has guaranteed that criminal defendants would be tried by a 12-member jury. But a verdict by 11 jurors stood in a criminal case, breaking precedent. @BennettCapers, Fordham Law's associate dean for research, weighs in. via @nytimes
