A Review of Neil Gorsuch’s New Book: “Over Ruled” by Amherst Professor Austin Sarat

In Over Ruled, Justice Neil Gorsuch bemoans the modern regulatory state as oppressive to ordinary Americans. However, Amherst professor Austin Sarat writes an very unsparing critique to point out how far Justice Gorsuch's book was from his judicial record.
