The editors show how judges can integrate all the elements of a case to persuasively explain their rulings--and, even more importantly, why they sometimes fail to do so. Drawing on cases old and new, \u003ci\u003eReason in Law\u003c\/i\u003e enables readers to become sophisticated \"judges of judging.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNow in its tenth edition, \u003ci\u003eReason in Law\u003c\/i\u003e includes a new chapter on the increasingly contentious and politically consequential field of administrative law and addresses recent developments in the American legal landscape, including growing conservatism in the federal judiciary and the flood of lawsuits brought against the second Trump administration. It also analyzes new cases on the First Amendment rights of high schoolers, transgender civil rights, the responsibilities universities have for student safety, Donald Trump's sweeping claims of executive power, and historic Supreme Court decisions expanding the rights of gun owners and allowing states to criminalize abortion. As always, \u003ci\u003eReason in Law\u003c\/i\u003e connects legal theory with empirical research on the American judicial system, showing how trustworthy legal reasoning helps preserve social peace and the rule of law.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lief H.
