Reviews
"...Sutton's work offers a lot of value." -- Richard S Price, Publius: The Journal of Federalism "Sutton's book - with its focus on the actual litigation of constitutional cases - is a welcome respite from books and articles on constitutional law that dwell in an abstract world far from the actual conduct of cases." -- Thomas A. Barnico, Massachusetts Law Review "Jeffrey Sutton, one of America's most distinguished judges, writes with a grace and intelligence equaled only by a handful of our greatest jurists. His collection of essays about the underestimated role of the states in creating our constitutional law is filled with human stories that bring the law to life. It's one of those rare books that lawyers and non-lawyers alike will enjoy and benefit from. - Laurence H. Tribe, Professor of Constitutional Law, Harvard Law School "It is very unusual for a scholar to identify a subject of manifestly great importance that has barely been addressed, but Eric Lawee has succeeded in doing so...We owe Lawee a debt of gratitude for his sweeping, learned, and original contribution to our understanding of how this classic text achieved its well-deserved renown." -- David Berger, Yeshiva University, Tradition "Jeffrey Sutton is that rare combination: a respected jurist and also a scholar. In this book, he brings to life a little-known part of our judicial history: the contributions of state courts to the defense and articulation of constitutional values. The United States Supreme Court usually gets the limelight. This book shows that state court judges also deserve our attention and respect. - Michael W. McConnell, Richard & Frances Mallery Professor, Stanford Law School, and former Circuit Judge, United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit "51 Imperfect Solutions is a brilliant and long-overdue effort to restore the salience of state constitutional law-and to advocate for its independence-in our understandings of the development of all American rights, both state and federal. It is hard to imagine anyone with more experience in both court systems, or with a deeper understanding of these issues, than Judge Sutton. -Abbe R. Gluck, Professor of Law, Yale Law School "Judge Sutton, a leading federal judge who's spent his career championing federalism, is the perfect bearer of this important message: Not all constitutional law comes from the federal Constitution-we must remember state constitutions. This book should change the way constitutional law is taught and litigated. - William Baude, University of Chicago Law School "Aimed at academics and attorneys but written in a clear, straightforward style accessible to general audiences." --Library Journal "Sutton gives state judges and lawyers plenty of food for thought that might lead to surprising and welcome rulings in the development of American constitutional law." --Judge William H. Pryor, National Review "As Sutton's book demonstrates, state judiciaries can set an example for the federal judiciary and ultimately persuade it to endorse rights that they have recognized and that should have prevailed as a matter of federal law for decades. I hope that 51 Imperfect Solutions convinces advocates to bring claims in state courts so that jurisprudence may continue to develop in this way." --John Paul Stevens, New York Review of Books, "...Sutton's work offers a lot of value." -- Richard S Price, Publius: The Journal of Federalism"Sutton's book - with its focus on the actual litigation of constitutional cases - is a welcome respite from books and articles on constitutional law that dwell in an abstract world far from the actual conduct of cases." -- Thomas A.

Synopsis
When we think of constitutional law, we invariably think of the Supreme Court and the federal court system. Yet much of our constitutional law is not made at the federal level. In 51 Imperfect Solutions, U.S. Federal Appellate Judge Jeffrey S. Sutton argues that American Constitutional Law should account for the role of the state courts and state constitutions, together with the federal courts and the federal constitution, in protecting our individual liberties. The book tells four stories that arise in four different areas of constitutional law: equal protection; criminal procedure; privacy; and free speech and free exercise of religion. Traditional accounts of these bedrock debates about the relationship of the individual to the state focus on decisions of the United States Supreme Court. But these accounts tell just part of the story. The book corrects this omission by looking at each issue (and some others as well) through the lens of many constitutions, not one constitution, of many courts, not one court, of all American judges, not federal or state judges. Taken together, the stories reveal a remarkably complex, nuanced, ever-changing federalist system, one that ought to make lawyers and litigants pause before reflexively assuming that the United States Supreme Court alone has all of the answers to our vexing constitutional questions. If there is a central conviction of the book, it's that an underappreciation of state constitutional law has hurt state and federal law and has undermined the appropriate balance between state and federal courts in protecting individual liberty. In trying to correct this imbalance, the book also offers several ideas for reform., 51Imperfect Solutions argues that American Constitutional Law should account for the role of the state courts and state constitutions, together with the federal courts and the federal constitution, in protecting our individual liberties. An underappreciation of state constitutional law has hurt state and federal law and has undermined the appropriate balance between state and federal courts in protecting individual liberty. The book corrects this imbalance and illustrates the virtues of federalism for all Americans., 51 Imperfect Solutions argues that American Constitutional Law should account for the role of the state courts and state constitutions, together with the federal courts and the federal constitution, in protecting our individual liberties.
