Dan Lawton Review on New Justice Antonin Scalia Book Published by the California Lawyers Association

SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA – Klinedinst’s Dan Lawton just published a review of The Essential Scalia: On the Constitution, the Courts, and the Rule of Law. The book is a carefully curated analysis of speeches, essays, testimony, and opinions penned by the late U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. The review appears in the current issue of California Litigation, the journal of the Litigation Section of the California Lawyers Association.

Mr. Lawton’s review, which can be read in full here or on the CLA website, examines the authors’ take on important samples of Scalia’s writing, and also offers observations on Scalia’s impact on Supreme Court jurisprudence, judging, and the legal profession.  “Scalia-lovers,” Mr. Lawton writes, “will find a lot to love here.  Scalia-haters, if they be honest, will find some­thing to love too, if they will only dare to admit it.”
