Ep.60 – Federal Judge Jeffrey S. Sutton’s Important New Book, "51 Imperfect Solutions: States and the Making of American Constitutional Law" -- In this episode, we hear from Judge Jeffrey S. Sutton who sits on the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. Judge Sutton recently released a terrific book, 51 Imperfect Solutions: States and the Making of American Constitutional Law. There is much to learn for criminal defense lawyers and others from Judge Sutton’s book and from this podcast. I spoke with Judge Sutton by phone last month while he was teaching state constitutional law in the January term at Harvard Law School. Learn more about NACDL. Ivan J. Dominguez, host.
