Did you ever wonder what your professors read in their spare time?  They certainly don’t sit around re-reading cases do they?

Of course they don’t! We asked the faculty if they had any suggestions for summer reading, and the did!  Without further ado, here are the GSU Law Faculty Summer Reading Suggestions.  We buy all the books on the list so see the hyperlinks for book descriptions and the Leisure Collection (to the right of the Ref Desk) to borrow.
