A new collection, Brennan Center for Justice Publications from NYU School of Law, is now available in HeinOnline. This collection includes more than 210 titles and 11,000 pages of material that is available at no additional cost to all HeinOnline U.S. Core subscribers.

The Brennan Center’s law and policy scholarship is largely written by attorneys and covers a variety of topics. The Center’s publications are nonpartisan; most works are stand-alone journal-length articles. Once a year, the Center publishes a book-length volume, Democracy and Justice: Collected Writings, which compiles excerpts from the year’s shorter scholarship and includes new material for that publication.brennan_screenshot

The Center’s scholarship undergoes rigorous review by other scholars and legal practitioners who are experts in the report’s field in that way, the Brennan Center’s scholarship is more scholarly than traditionally edited student law reviews.

Titles Include:

  • Crime in 2015: A Preliminary Analysis by Matthew Friedman, Nicole Fortier, and James Cullen
  • Legal Change: Lessons from America’s Social Movements edited by Jennifer Weiss-Wolf and Jeanine Plant-Chirlin
  • Secret Spending in the States by Chisun Lee, Katherine Valde, Benjamin T. Brickner, and Douglas Keith
  • Judicial Selection for the 21st Century by John F. Kowal
  • Election Integrity: A Pro-Voter Agenda by Myrna Perez
  • And more!
