Join YLS Professors Jack Balkin, Robert Post and Reva Siegel, along with Prof. Steven Teles, as they discuss Prof. Teles's new book, "The Rise of the Conservative Legal Movement."

Dahilia Lithwick of Slate had this to say about the book: "In a terrific new book, The Rise of the Conservative Legal Movement, professor Steven M. Teles charts the success of the conservative legal establishment over the past several decades. Digging past liberal clichés about an all-powerful Federalist Society tree fort, Teles charts a complicated countermobilization that took place in legal academia and conservative public-interest law, against law schools and a government in thrall with liberal ideas. He chronicles the rise of a multifaceted organizational and institutional structure that has become the only game in town."

The first chapter of the book is available to read for free online; and check out National Review Online for an audio clip of an interview Prof. Teles gave about the book (links provided at www.yaleacs.org).
