[Sunstein's] carefully nuanced description of the kind of reasoning employed in law, a process often mysterious to outsiders, is the best I've seen, and captures the way judges actually make decisions in most cases....Professor Sunstein has provided an articulate and comprehensible entry into the intellectual world of lawyers and judges.... Anyone who wishes to learn what 'thinking like a lawyer' is all about should read this book."
