New book on visiting judges in federal courts

Not a book on the legal profession, true, but more on law and society. I thought some of our readers would want to know about a new book that I didn’t write but did edit and publish on behalf of the author, political scientist Steve Wasby. It’s Borrowed Judges: Visitors in the U.S. Courts of Appeals. It is about how federal appellate courts use visiting judges–from other circuits, from the district courts, even from their Senior Judges bench. It publishes at midnight, or likely already as you read this. [Alan Childress]
