An Interesting New Book

By immigrationprof

My friend Michael Olivas (Houston) alerts me to a new book by Vanessa A. Baird, Answering the Call of the Court, How Justices and Litigants Set the Supreme Court Agenda (UVA press, 2007) (for details, click here and here). Among other things, the new book lays out the legal strategy of the Mexican-American Legal Defense and Educational Fund in LULAC v Wilson, the case in which the court held that California’s Proposition 187 was pre-empted by federal law. Given all the state and local agitation on immigration in recent months, the book has modern relevance. It iss on my stack of summer reading.
