All About Faculty Authors

Last week, Duke Today published the fall installment of its Guide to Duke Author Books Series. The roundup of recent faculty book publications features several new titles by Duke Law faculty, including:
  • Joseph Blocher and Darrell A.H. Miller: The Positive Second Amendment: Rights, Regulation, and the Future of Heller (watch video introduction)
  • Allen Buchanan: Institutionalizing the Just War
  • Charles T. Clotfelter: Big-Time Sports in American Universities, 2d ed.
  • Brandon L. Garrett, co-author: The Death Penalty
  • Laurence R. Helfer, co-editor: International Court Authority
  • Jack Knight, editor: Immigration, Emigration, and Migration

The Goodson Law Library has print or online access to these and hundreds of other publications by Duke Law faculty. The display case at the library entrance features book publications and article offprints from roughly the last two years; additional print copies of faculty books can be found in the library stacks. To locate call numbers and availability, search the Duke Libraries Catalog for authors or titles. Note that Faculty Collection copies have more limited circulation (and require staff assistance to retrieved from a locked area), while Stacks copies follow Standard Loan periods.

Want to read even more faculty publications? You can find more than 3,400 faculty-authored articles and book chapters in the Law School's open access Scholarship Repository. The repository can be browsed by date, author, or subject tag, and can also be keyword searched.

The Law Library and Office of the Dean also co-sponsor Faculty Author Celebrations throughout the academic year, highlighting selected book publications. You can watch video of past celebrations on the Duke Law YouTube playlist for Faculty Authors. Be on the lookout for more great celebrations in the spring 2019 semester.

For help with locating publications by Duke Law faculty members, be sure to Ask a Librarian.
