Law Stories for Diversity Week

You may have read chapters of a book in the Law Stories series for one of your classes. Each book has chapters by different authors (mostly law professors) looking at the back stories and impact of famous cases. There are Law Stories collections for Torts, Contracts, Civil Procedure, Tax, and many other subjects. For UW Law's Diversity Week (or at any other time!), you might want to explore one or more of these Law Stories books: Indian Law Stories, Immigration Law Stories, Race Law Stories, Women and the Law Stories.
