Last week I was a guest on one of talk radio’s enduring institutions, the Jim Bohannon show on Westwood One, to discuss my new book Schools for Misrule. I always have a great time on Jim’s show and this was no exception; you can listen here. Also last week, I joined the African American Conservatives show on BlogTalkRadio, and you can hear the results here. And Bernard Chapin (Chapin’s Inferno), who is among other things a contributor to Pajamas Media, liked the book and gave it a video review on his YouTube channel.

I’ll be in Dallas over the next day or two to speak with leaders of conservative/libertarian legal groups at the Heritage Foundation’s annual get-together (invitation event).

The Heritage Foundation in Washington, D.C. and the Heartland Institute in Chicago have posted videos of my talk on Schools for Misrule. (Although I adapt the talk to fit audiences and time constraints, if you’ve seen one version, much will be familiar about the others.) The Heritage talk is the same one that C-SPAN2’s “Book TV” broadcast over the weekend; it can be watched at Heritage here.

The Heartland version is broken into two parts on YouTube (parts one, two). Here is part one:

Volokh Conspiracy blogger David Bernstein, who teaches law at George Mason, generously recommended the book the other day. And liability reformer Bob Dorigo Jones (“Let’s Be Fair”) devoted his radio commentary to it.

Last Thursday I was interviewed on one of the nation’s great radio shows, Milt Rosenberg’s extension 720. It was a wide-ranging discussion and host Milt Rosenberg had some generous words for the book; also participating by telephone for part of the show was Dan Polsby, dean at the George Mason University School of Law. WGN has now posted the podcast of the show here. I’ve been a guest on several other shows as well in recent days, including Brian Schimming (guest-hosting for Vicki McKenna), on Wisconsin’s WIBA, BlogTalkRadio “Patriot Games” with D.R. Tucker, and “Battle Line.”

Prominent NYU legal ethicist Stephen Gillers, with whose views I’ve not always seen eye to eye in the past, was in the audience at my NYC talk earlier this month and has written up some of his reactions here. (The speech by Justice Samuel Alito to which he refers is here.) Meanwhile, a letter-writer at the WSJ enjoyed John McGinnis’s review last week, and Elizabeth Wurtzel has been wanting to read the book since she heard about it.

Today at noon Eastern, C-SPAN2’s popular “Book TV” feature will broadcast my remarks before a Heritage Foundation audience in Washington, D.C. I’ll be talking about my new book Schools for Misrule, reviewed yesterday in the Wall Street Journal and (by George Leef) in The Weekly Standard (more). Last night Schools for Misrule hit a sales ranking of #718 on Amazon, and stood at #1 in the One-L category, #2 in Legal Education after a test prep book, and #7 in Law (with only one policy-oriented book higher). It stood at #332 this morning on Barnes & Noble.
