You don’t need to go to Stanford Law for their teachers to assign you reading! The faculty compiled an end-of-the-year reading list chock full of pleasant little distractions from our impending rule of law crises. Who has time to worry about statutes when there are stories like these:

The list even considers the little ones in your life — several of the books are geared toward children! Here’s one of them:

The list is worth reading in its own right. There’s a nice balance between the sparse recommendations like “a well-researched account of Captain Cook’s last voyage” and William B.

Or your Goodreads pages so can virtue signal how erudite you manage to be while also hitting your billables.

Happy reading!
